What is the feeling among the white neighbors (Maudie excluded) on Atticus’s defeat?

The reader knows the result of Tom Robinson's trial in Chapter 21 of To Kill a Mockingbird. In Chapter 22, Maudie shares with the children that there are more people on their father's side than they might think. For example, she says that Judge Taylor knew what he was doing by naming Atticus to defend Tom. She also believes that Heck Tate did what he could to help Tom. However, we do not become aware of the opinions of many neighbors until Aunt Alexandra's missionary circle meeting in Chapter 24.
Mrs. Merriweather offers her opinion that the black citizens of Maycomb County just need to know that they are forgiven. Once they are, "then this whole thing'll blow over." Referring to the decision in Tom's trial, she believes that "the cooks and field hands are just dissatisfied, but they're settling down now." Mrs. Merriweather believes that by showing disappointment, one is simply not being a good Christian.
Next, Mrs. Farrow shares her feelings of the black citizens by saying, "we can try till we drop to make Christians out of 'em, but there's no lady safe in her bed these nights." Her statement makes her opinion quite clear on Tom's guilty verdict. Mrs. Merriweather agrees and adds that there are "some good but misguided people in this town." Although she doesn't mention his name specifically, she seems to be of the opinion that Atticus may be a good person, but by defending Tom Robinson, all he did was "stir 'em up." Miss Maudie puts an end to the conversation, for which she is silently thanked by Aunt Alexandra.
