Wasn't hanging usual punishment about rebelling on 18th century? Brits even hanged Irish rebels after Easter Rising and it happened over 130 years after ARW.
Just to note, the British did not hang rebels in the aftermath of the Easter Rising. Rebels were tried by field general courts-martial for violating the 1914 Defense of the Realm Act, and fifteen of them, in the American parlance, were ''shot to death with musketry''. In 1920-1921, ten Irish rebels WERE hanged, for offenses under the Restoration of Order in Ireland Act. Another fourteen were shot in the same period by the British under martial law regulations for which the legal sanction thereof might best be described as ''problematical''.
Not that the unpleasantness in Ireland ended the British practice of executing rebels, of course. 140 rebels were hanged by the British colonial authorities in Malaya in the course of the Emergency, over a thousand African insurgents were hanged during the Mau Mau Uprising, and about 40 other executions occurring in scattered locations. The last of these took place in Cyprus in 1957.
