Atticus says, "Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win."

Answers may vary on the second part of the question. Example: Atticus is most likely
referring to the deep-rooted racism in Maycomb County, which goes back hundreds of
years. Although the novel is set nearly seventy years after the abolition of slavery, prejudice against black people is still very much alive in America, especially in Deep South states like Alabama. Atticus is saying that entrenched racism is what has already "licked" Robinson's chances of a fair trial. However, this is not going to cause Atticus to simply give up and not even try to win the case.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
