In the movie's romanticizing of the antebellum South, it appeared to me that the movie completely glossed over whites who were not in the planter class elite. There were no representations of the poor whites, or really any whites who owned less than a score of slaves who were not city dwellers. Also, though there was a mention of some of the O'Hara slaves running off, many slaves chose to remain very loyal to the family despite the South's tenuous hold on slavery. - Bryan Mull | In the movie's romanticizing of the antebellum South, it appeared to me that the movie completely glossed over whites who were not in the planter class elite.
