People who lived there were "white trash" hillbillies, who couldn't afford to own slaves.

As has been pointed out, that's an incorrect statement. Being poor or being a hillbilly does not equate with being "white trash."

You are correct tho, that if there are no slaves mentioned in the book, there's no need to put them in the movie just to be PC.

I apologize for the "white trash" comment. It was uncalled for.
