In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, According to Atticus, why don't blacks get a fair deal in court? Why are jurors always from the countryside and not the town?

Blacks do not get a fair deal in court because the jury is more inclined to sympathize with white men and women simply because of their race. Jurors are always from the countryside in order to maintain the dominance of white power in the court room.
