The book takes place during the1930’s in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama.

Another piece of evidence is “‘In the name of God, believe him’ I think that’s what he said.’”(Page 275 Chapter 20) This shows how Atticus is courageous because of how he is going up against practically the entire town of Maycomb because of how they all had the mentality that all black people are wrong and immoral and he is asking them to look the other way and realize that Mr. Robinson is actually innocent and telling the truth.
