Mrs. Merriweather's didn't like Northerners mostly because Southerners, like her, blamed the North for the depression. Maycomb people were suspicious of outsiders too, and Northerners are outsiders. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt had "sit with 'em" -Negroes. "Hypocrites... born hypocrites... At least we don't have that sin on our shoulders down here. People up there set 'em free, but you don't see 'em settin' at the table with 'em... Down here we just say you live your way and we'll live ours."
