No, you’re wrong as usual. The book is very accurate. You are confusing her attitude towards slavery with her very accurate portrayal of the lives of northern Georgian planters and their destruction during the Civil War. She’s very critical as well as loving towards that world. Certainly, Rhett Butler expresses his hatred towards that society.

I also read Faulkner and Thomas Wolfe to learn about the war’s effect on the Deep South and the Appalachians. I read Marjorie Rawlings for her ideas on Floridians who suffered during that period.

And, no. I don’t read Sandburg because he’s a bad writer. Now go play with the other South-haters here.

I give up.

But he rescues Ashley Wilkes and the other Ku Klux Klan members when their raid on a shantytown runs into a Yankee ambush. Of course, poor Frank, Mr. Scarlett O'Hara #2, takes a yankee bullet in the head in that raid.
