I want to know the answer to the following question:
At the time of the novel's setting, what punishment was often received by black males for percieved sexual contact with a white woman?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Roslyn Siegel includes Tom Robinson as an example of the recurring motif among white Southern writers of the black man as "stupid, pathetic, defenseless, and dependent upon the fair dealing of the whites, rather than his own intelligence to save him".". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
