[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The situation is getting worse.

In the summer of 1863, every family in the Confederate States had high hopes of defeating the Northern Confederate government. From July [-]rd of this year, the situation took a turn for the worse. The next day, at noon on the [-]th of July, Every family on Peachtree Street in Atlanta is caught in a nightmare. .

every day,

every day,

The battle report has always been defeated, defeated, defeated,

Casualty lists are volume after volume.

Women crowded in front of the "Daily Observer" newspaper office. Only a few of them were able to cry with joy after reading the casualty list, and more were collapsed, despaired, and even numb.

So many people died that even Scarlett, who was thinking about Ashley, was terrified.

Thankfully, for Christmas this year, Ashley is back in a pudding-filled outfit.

But this year, neither Margot nor Suellen were home for Christmas.No, it should be said that they went back to the Clark House on Christmas afternoon and went to the hospital early the next morning.

Because there are too many wounded in the hospital.Even Margot herself was very thankful that she was not pregnant at this time.

If you get pregnant at this time, it really sucks.

So did Suellen.

She really wanted another daughter, because if things went on like this, Kennedy would die someday.But the hospital couldn't do without the two of them.

Beginning in January 1864 several of the men of the family went to war, John Wilke, Henry Hamilton and Gerald O'Hara the older generation, Ashley Wilkes below And Kennedy, of course, even Charles Hamilton and George Clark, who were originally in the Guards, went to the field.

I just don't know how many of them will come back alive this time.

Of course, for Scarlett, one of her nightmares must include that Melanie is pregnant!

Conceived at Christmas time!

And the day after she learned that Melanie was pregnant, news came that Ashley Wilkes, Charles Hamilton and George Clark, among others, had disappeared on the battlefield.

Scarlett and Melanie broke down on the spot.

Melanie was for her husband and brother, and Scarlett, no doubt, for Ashley.

As for Margot, she just sent a note:

"No body is good news."

Even Dr. Meade was amazed at Margo.

This young lady has a will of iron.

In May of 1864, the citizens of Atlanta could hear the cannon.

The Battle of Atlanta, which will determine the fate of the Confederate government, begins.At this time, even the blacks began to send battlefields.Of course, what black people can do is cannon fodder, and then building fortifications.

Of course, the Confederate government did not recruit blacks from Barton Manor and Rose Manor.This is what they promised the two manors long ago.

For Scarlett, her ears were filled with the roar of gunfire every day, every hour of the next few weeks, which made Scarlett's temper worse.

However, even so, Scarlett still guarded Melanie, just like in the original book, she didn't take Melanie who had just given birth to brave the gunfire and soldiers until Atlanta began to bomb the station and munitions. Even though she was terribly afraid, even though she was always worried that the shells from the Northern Federation would fall on the roof of Hamilton's house at any time, she still stood by Melanie.

Same as the original book, Melanie's aunt, Miss Pittpat, and sister-in-law Indy still fled to Macon, and took away Uncle Peter, the only reliable servant of the Hamilton family.

Unlike the original book, Scarlett moved into the Clarks' house with Melanie and her son, Webb Jr.

Who left the Hamilton family with only Scarlett, Melanie, Little Webb and Scarlett's little maid Prissy?

For Scarlett, home is where her mother is.Since his mother chose to stay in Atlanta, Scarlett would naturally stay in Atlanta.

Scarlett, who moved into Clark's house, finally grew up. While relying on her mother, she also helped her mother take care of her younger sister Karin, Melanie who was about to give birth, and her son Weibo and Two nephews.

Margot's letter of proposal was thrown out at this time.

There is only one content in this document, and it is hoped that the South will surrender.

In this proposal, Margo wrote:

"...For this war, too many people have died in the South. Every day, every minute, a corpse is carried out of the Atlanta station. The war has been fought until now, and the final victory or defeat has been determined. Now that the outcome is already determined , Please keep your eyes on the Atlanta station for a minute. There are tens of thousands of wounded people waiting for rescue. They need medicine, bandages, and medicine. There are tens of thousands of families waiting for their sons, their husbands, their lovers come home..."

Marg even wrote in this proposal:

"...Although I have no brothers, many of my friends are gone. My neighbors, the names of the four boys from the Tarleton family are all on the death list. If time can be turned back, I am willing to pay any price, I just hope they can appear in front of me again and smile at me. My youngest sister doesn’t have to cry every day..."

When Ellen took out the document that the second daughter had prepared for a long time, he thought that the eldest daughter would get angry and call his younger sister a coward and a traitor, but in fact, Ellen was also very surprised that the daughter was sitting there and started thinking. After a while, he signed it.

God knows, Ellen thought that Scarlett would object, because this proposal was proposed by Margot.

Scarlett also noticed her mother's surprise, and said, "Mom, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

Ellen said: "I thought you would object, and even curse your sister."

Scarlett frowned and said, "Why should I do this? Mom, I hate wars too, and if the South surrenders, Ashley will be able to come back. Of course, there will be Charles and George."

Last week, Gerald came back, he lost a leg.But he came back alive.

Hearing that the eldest daughter was still thinking about Ashley, Ellen had to sigh.

She didn't blame her daughter, on the contrary, the person she wanted to blame the most at this moment was herself.Because she didn't teach her daughter well, Scarlett has been married for so long and still misses other people's husbands.

Instead, it was Scarlett. Seeing her mother's expression was wrong, she quickly changed the subject: "Mom, why did you take this out? I mean, when I found out that Charles and the others were in Rock Island, Ashley refused to be accepted by the North. I'm going to suppress the Indians..."

That's right, Scarlett pulled out this news from Rhett's mouth. Scarlett still remembers Ritter's unabashed sarcasm.

Ellen heard and sighed.

Of course she knew about it, and she also knew why Rhett despised these high-class people.

Scarlett didn't know, Ellen did.When they discussed the future path of the United States in the living room of the Clark family, everyone came to the conclusion that the United States must be protected and the British should not be allowed to succeed.

And everyone knew at the time that after the war, the South needed men to enter the political arena and fight another invisible war on another battlefield.

That said, the South needed these men to survive.

But Ashley chose to stay in Rock Island, a notorious prisoner camp in the north known as Hell Island, instead of giving priority to saving his own life. It's no wonder that Rhett would ridicule him as a superior person.

Ellen's job is not going well.

Atlanta has no shortage of diehards.Thankfully, Melanie signed on, and the older Atlanta "Three Pillars" were furious at first, with many wives insisting they would not forgive Ellen and Melanie for their "betrayal"!

This is what Margo didn't expect
