[quote=Anonymous]I think bc he was very different from the traditional Southern gentleman, and supposedly Scarlett's unladylike tendencies/gumption came from him, rather than her mother. Also, he was a self-made man (though didn't he win the plantation through gambling?) and Scarlett has to use her sharpness/business sense to rebuild the family fortune after the war, while traditional Southerners like Ashley and Melanie sunk into genteel poverty. At least that's the perspective the book takes.[/quote]
