2. I think they stood up for him even after the defeat because they had so much respect for him. He did something for them that was almost unacceptible to his kind. He defended a black person. And they were very thankful to him.

#2 They all stood because of three reasons probably, (1)because they were 'lower' than he was.(2)Because he had defended a black man and they wanted to show their gratitude.(3)Because he believed Tom. All of these could be reasons for standing while he passed through.

1. Atticus, Tom Robinson's friends and family, Jem, and Scout are some of the people who believe that Tom is innocent. They believe he is innocent because all of the evidence shows that he didn't do the crime. The problem is that the jury is racist and they don't believe Tom because he is African American.

Jem, Scout, and Atticus are about the only people that think Tom has a chance of being set free. They think that because all the white people like black people and don't really think he is guilty they are just racist.
