Final answer:

Atticus Finch's actions lead Mr. Cunningham to disperse the Lynch Mob in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird.

Step-by-step explanation:

The actions of Atticus Finch lead Mr. Cunningham to disperse the Lynch Mob.

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch, a lawyer and the father of the protagonist Scout, is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman.

During the trial, a lynch mob gathers outside the jail, intent on harming Tom Robinson. Scout, Jem Finch, and their friend Dill join Atticus at the scene, and Scout, in her innocence, recognizes Mr. Cunningham and engages him in conversation. Her sincerity and innocence eventually touch Mr. Cunningham and remind him of his humanity, leading him to disperse the mob and abandon their mission.
