Suppose "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a novel by Harper Lee, published in 1960. The story is set in the Southern United States during the Great Depression and follows the journey of a young girl named Scout Finch as her father, Atticus Finch, defends a black man accused of rape.
Can we infer that "The events in To Kill a Mockingbird take place in the 19th century"? Yes, no, or maybe?
