An article in the New York Times discusses the history of lynching. While TKAM does not show an actual lynching (thanks to Atticus's and the kids' ability to diffuse the situation), we do have a chance to see a little into the mob mentality. Lynchings are a very dark but very real part of our history.
You can read the NYT article here, and the complete report on lynching here.
