Throughout the passage, lee uses the repetition of the pronoun ‘us’ to show Maudie’s view of Matcomb.

‘We’re so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we’ve got men like atticus to go for us.’

This quotation shows that Maudie see’s the county as a family as she has said ‘we’ and ‘us’. She states that the county is rarely to be called Christians which means that the county has sinned a lot so they can’t really called be christians.
