ould go to their church every Sunday and worship much like the people do today. The real American history is in the black church. In the black church, very few of the people had the ability to read, so they didn't have any hymn books. One person would start singing a hymn and the entire church would stand up and join in, singing and clapping. The people in the black church during that time were always looking out for each other. In the book, when Tom Robinson was in jail, the black church began collecting money to help support his family while he was away. If they didn't collect enough money the first time the tray was passed around, it would keep going around till the goal was met.These are some of the big relations between Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mockingbird, and real American history. It was a good book, and very accurately written to the actual American history....
