Gone with the what?
Yes, I gave Gone with the Wind a 1 on GoodReads. The reason? They didn't have a zero.
GWTW is fake history and white propaganda written at a time when the "Lost Cause Myth" went unchallenged. It gives the South a fake-Brit aristocracy of manners and Oxbridge learning; it ignores the underpinning of those pretentions to elegance - slavery. The ante bellum Southern upper class kept itself well-off at the expense of the blood and sweat of their slaves.
Read The Half Not Told. Read John Hope Franklin. Read Eric Foner. Read James Baldwin. Read The Wind Done Gone. Read The Underground Railway.
