In Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird', Scout, the narrator, says, 'Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow, it was hotter then; a black dog suffered on a summer's day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning.' From Scout's description of Maycomb, what can we infer about the social and historical context of the town?
