The lynching mob fails because after Colonel Sherburn makes a powerful speech shaming them for their cowardice and lack of courage to act alone, he draws a gun and intimidates them into dispersing. Sherburn's display of strength and authority exposes the mob's weakness and causes them to back down.

What is colonel sherburn's problem with boggs?
Boggs, being drunk, decides to threaten Colonel Sherburn and says he's going to kill him. Boggs has been doing this for many years; always threatening different people but never actually killing them. Colonel Sherburn then warns/threatens Boggs that if he doesn't stop, he'll shoot him. And he didn't stop; it got serious, then he shot him.

What is the main idea of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?
Education and beatings only served to turn Huckleberry into a runaway. Hunting and beatings only served to turn Huckleberry into a runaway. Going down the river with a runaway slave and two pirates turned Huckleberry into a man able to decide he would go west and seek his fortune. The house would have been acceptable as a dwelling in any town.
What are the responsibilities of the colonel?
Depends on what branch they're in, and what their occupation is. A Lieutenant Colonel who is in the military as a doctor isn't going to have the same responsibilities as an infantry Lieutenant Colonel, for example. Lieutenant Colonel is the normal rank for a battalion commander. There are also staff officers who hold the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Their function defines their responsibilities more than their rank is going to. \ you really have to improve your answers so you dont have to go on a different website so please have different answers because im trying to do a report and this is not helping.

Describe the mood were lynching took place?
The mood of lynching was a scary feeling and mostly black people got lynched and only white people who would betray the other white people by going against slavey were lynched because they wanted all of the whites to think what they were doing was right. Really this was hurting everyone because even though they were going to school they were obviously not learning that this was supposed to be a equal place.
