I believe MARGARET MITCHELL told a family story---she just changed the names.

I Believe GWTW is a True Depiction of THE OLD SOUTH, and should be read with this kept in mind. Those of us who live Today (I am A GEORGIAN) truly do not know all that happened in the 1800's----There is no one living who really knows......some choose GWTW to use to try to stir up racial problems. I believe this is wrong.....THE OLD SOUTH IS IN THE PAST------IT IS GONE WITH THE WIND---AND IT IS HISTORY AND HISTORY CANNOT BE CHANGED---WE AS AMERICANS SHOULD LEAVE IT IN THE PAST AND PRESS EVER FORWARD----REALIZING THAT WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER YOU DO BETTER.

GONE WITH THE WIND IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER WRITTEN AND AN EXCELLENT READ. THE READER MUST TAKE IT TO HEART AND LEARN FROM THE PAST. LEAVE IT IN THE PAST.

I RECOMMEND GONE WITH THE WIND HIGHLY.
