I found the depiction of the civil war "hospitals" to be at least mildly accurate. They gave no sense of cleanliness or sterility, and were at times gruesome as Scarlett couldn't handle bearing witness to the amputation sans chloroform. Perhaps there were some instances of nurse touching in the movie which was not allowed in real life, but it did portray one lady writing a letter for an incapacitated man as mentioned in the lecture. Also there was some sense that disease played just as important a role in the death toll as the war wounds. Scarlett's first husband falls to pneumonia, her mother to typhoid, and there were allusions to lice and other diseases in the "hospitals." -Bryan Mull | I found the depiction of the civil war "hospitals" to be at least mildly accurate.

| − | Post-traumatic stress/depression displayed by the returning Confederate soldiers was at least shown in the movie though not named.
