 This movie gets many general topics/concepts right. One being that women who were left at home during the war had to step up and work hard to stay afloat. This is shown when Scarlett goes back home to the destroyed Tara and does whatever she had to keep the plantation running. Another concept this film gets right is that Sherman burned and destroyed everything in his path. It also got right that during this time period girls were primarily valued only for their beauty and marriage prospects. -Maddy Woodard This movie gets many general topics/concepts right.

 +I think that the only thing that this movie gets in terms of being historically accurate is how the South behaves during the Civil War in a general sense. -Kazu Ferris

 Gone with the Wind while got many themes right did not get the specifics right and skipped over the racial issues of the time. Such as how the slaves were portrayed to be happy to be working for Scarlett. Just like in the patriot even after they were freed after the war they just continued to work there as if they were part of the family. And the Ashley saying that they didn't treat the slaves badly just reminded me of the patriot again. The only instance that mistreatment of slaves was brought up was when Scarlett's father said you are being to hard on the slaves like she was their parent or teacher scolding their child. Overall this movie did not touch the issue of slavery in the slightest bit which should of been the biggest issue in this movie.-Ryan King Gone with the Wind while got many themes right did not get the specifics right and skipped over the racial issues of the time.

 +Gone with the Wind did not portray the horror of slavery and instead tried to spin it to look much less awful than it really was in reality. It romanticized it. -Kazu Ferris
