I half-expected Will to say that GWTW has been surpassed by The Wind Done Gone.

GWTW prettifies slavery and justifies the post-war Ku Klux Klan. These are serious flaws but both institutions were long dead by the time the novel was written. More harm is done by a modern novel which justifies abortion (e.g., John Updike's Couples).

My college literature professor dismissed Gone with the Wind as a soap opera.

My college literature professor dismissed Gone with the Wind as a soap opera.

I remember reading somewhere that 'Gone With the Wind' was rated the best movie of all time by the American people. Number two was 'Casablanca'.

Spoken by someone who learn it from his/her liberal professors.

Mitchell's history is more truthful and factual than a boatload of Zinn.
