Did you know that the title of the novel (and film) Gone with the Wind refers to the beautiful way of life in the Antebellum South which was destroyed by the Civil War and that dastardly Sherman?

The South was too beautiful a place to be let go without a struggle, too loved to be trampled by Yankees who hated Southerners enough to enjoy grinding them into the dirt, too dear a homeland to be turned over to ignorant people drunk with whisky and freedom.

That blew my mind when I learned it. It's a shockingly reactionary story. Never read or seen it myself though.

I'm pretty sure it's Ron Paul's favorite movie. :thonk:
