Agree, DJ Taylor. It might be a good idea for anyone who doesn’t know what to expect to review the *real* history of what things were like. archive.org is a good place to start. Gone With the Wind is roses & moonshine compared to the reality. And the sanitized revisions.

(I wish some enterprising soul would redo Birth of A Nation as a talkie. Having to read the dialogue is a major distraction.)

It is said that you can learn more about why the Civil War was fought by reading Gone with the Wind (New York: Macmillan, 1936)--a work of fiction--than you can by reading a scholarly military history of the war.
