What does it mean to cary a man out on a post?

On “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou”, theres the scene where they carry Mr. Stokes out on a post after he dises on the Soggy Bottom Boys…. What the hell does that mean?

People used to be tarred and feathered and carried to the town limits on a post.

It was a way of saying ‘you’re not wanted here’.
