This whole description of how the former field-hand slaves are behaving with their newfound freedom after the war is so so racist and it genuinely seems like Margaret Mitchell must take the view of the confederates that they didn’t deserve to be emancipated. Some of the language used and the descriptions as monkeys, apes and creatures of low intelligence is horrific.
