| I think that the way the movie portrayed how the women were left at home when all of the men went to fight in the war was very accurate. It did a great job of showing how these wealthy, white women who were only ever used to their enslaved workers taking care of their homes, meals, and themselves were now left alone to fend for themselves, but also to take care of others. Scarlett O’Hara went from a spoiled, wealthy woman to having to deliver babies and take care of her home plantation Tara. I also liked when the Union soldiers were coming to Atlanta and Scarlett, Prissy, and Melanie were fleeing, Scarlett’s hair and dress were no longer glamorous and put together. The disarray of her appearance did a great job of reflecting the hardships and difficulties of war time. If Scarlett had looked put together and cleaned the entire time, it definitely would not be accurately reflecting history. Scarlett’s objection to working in the hospital in Atlanta demonstrated her inability and lack of knowledge of taking care of others and being able to work. --Olivia Foster | I think that the way the movie portrayed how the women were left at home when all of the men went to fight in the war was very accurate.

| + | I don’t believe this movie would be a great secondary source, but it did get some details right about history. The treatment of women seemed historically accurate. Men saw women as dependents and fragile. Scarlet was blamed for being attacked when she left by herself on a carriage because she didn't have a man with her. She was also blamed for the death of her second husband, Kennedy, because he went out looking for the men who attacked her and got shot. Women also only really worked on their homes or as nurses, which Scarlett was doing while the soldiers got hurt. -Leah B. | ||

| I do not think this movie works as a secondary source. At least in the way of being historically dependent and not having a bias towards it. I do think the movie could work as a gain in perspective though. I feel that there could have been many different perspectives of the fear the War can cause them while others believe it had nothing to do with the. The individuals in the movie refuse to take notice in the War while the others are more than ever to fight. I also think the movie did a decent job in showing how women had to take over when the men left for the war. Did it do a great job? No not necessarily but it helps spark a conversation of the role women did in the War. Another thing would have to be the dynamic between the enslaved people and their “masters”. | I do not think this movie works as a secondary source.
