[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's confederacy fanfic. Plantation owners are heroes. Slaves have no desire to be free. Southerners fought for their way of life or out of boyish immaturity. Union soldiers are evil. [/quote] This. It's part of the Lost Cause spin that some southerners try to put on slavery and the civl war. When someone says they like that movie, I just assume they're racist, but smart enough not to openly admit it [/quote] Sadly, I read the book and saw the movie pre-internet and didn’t give the slave portrayal a second thought. Many people fell in love with the movie like any romantic costume drama. Obtuse and privileged, sure- but not intentionally racist. [/quote]
