[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

As Margo expected, Frank's funeral did not go well from the beginning.

Of course, the reasons are various.

First of all, southern white families enjoyed too many privileges in the past, and they are not suitable for the current legal system, while the northern federal government said it was to liberate blacks, but their discrimination against blacks was more serious than that of the south.Such a common social ideology has caused many blacks to complain.

In fact, the situation in Atlanta is already very good, at least because of Marg's efforts, starting from the nursing hospital, all white people will smile and nod their heads to express their gratitude after receiving the service or help of black nurses and nurses.

And this fashion has also spread from the nursing hospital, from Clark's house, and from the Peachtree neighborhood to most of the city.

It can be said that in Atlanta, except for the barracks and a few other sites completely controlled by the Yankees, as long as there are white and black people working together, this etiquette has begun to be used.

Southerners are happy to use this understanding because it makes them look more dignified.

Black people are also happy to work for such white people, because it makes them feel respected.

Because of the attitude of the southern white people, even those northern white people who gradually integrated into Atlanta were affected.

Although it was just a small etiquette, it made the entire social environment in Atlanta more harmonious.

In Margo's words, it was this atmosphere that made Atlanta what it is today.

However, this is only Atlanta, and a part of Atlanta, not the whole city of Atlanta, let alone the whole of Georgia.

In fact, in other parts of Georgia, outside of Margot and Suellen's property, blacks were still discriminated against, and the safety of life and property of southern whites was still insecure.

Not to mention the Ku Klux Klan | white Southern families with no KKK members, only women and children left in the family, are tired of this state of affairs.

Frank's death gave these people an excuse to blow off steam.

It has to be said that Frank's identity is too subtle.

Suellen was one of the most powerful wives in America today, and Frank had abandoned her.Not to mention the tradition that many churches do not allow divorce, even in the south, I have never heard of divorce before.Based on Suellen's current status in the hearts of black people, it is not surprising that Frank was revenged. Maybe the murderer would insist that he was venting his anger for Suellen!

But for most families in the south, Frank is a gentleman from an upper-class family in the south. He was shot to death on the street for no reason.

So, in Frank, many southern whites seem to see themselves tomorrow, how can they keep silent?

And it is this mentality that has been firmly grasped by the Ku Klux Klan.

Even George Clark had to give a public speech for this, and he had to go through the speech draft word by word to ensure that there would be no ambiguity, and he had to go through several rehearsals before he stepped onto the podium.

And the judges headed by John Wilkes, they worked overtime, and even clerks like Charles were not free.

However, this does not alleviate the shadow of the southern family.

The first parade|walk|demonstration started under such circumstances.

At that time, Frank's body was displayed in an auditorium in Richmond, and many white men in Richmond took to the streets, including many women.And the fate of these people, obviously, was arrested by the local government in the name of illegal assembly and thrown into prison.

When the news came, the entire South trembled. After Richmond, New Orleans, Charleston and other major cities all started rioting, and the conflict escalated rapidly.

Then it was up to the people of Peachtree whether they would also hold a rally in solidarity with their fellow man.

For this situation, Margot is against it.

This made Mrs. Merriweather very dissatisfied.

"The South needs us!" As the three pillars of the older generation in Atlanta, Mrs. Merriweather insisted on one point: "We have to do something for our fellow citizens."

Margot nodded: "I agree with this. However, I don't agree with the way of the police, not to mention that many of the judges in Atlanta are our own people. This way will only give the Yankees a chance to catch us all and steal the state by the way. Rights. Shall I remind everyone how much we have paid for Georgia's state rights?"

Suellen has worked with Margot for many years, and she is very aware of Margot's behavior style, so she immediately said:

"I think the Yankees have been taking the arrest method and letting the prisons be filled and they are not willing to change their response methods. Their goal should be Georgia. Who made George the only governor from the South?"

Suellen's remarks aroused the approval of many ladies around.

The ladies whispered and exchanged their opinions.

Such a scene was hard to see in the antebellum South.Because before the war, women were just appendages of men, and they only needed to be obedient and obedient. Women were never allowed to get involved in politics.

But now, the south has lost a large number of people, and many families have only women left, not even a boy.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for women to be the masters of the house.Although many people simply cannot adapt to such an era, there are still quite a few people who have come over.

That was the case with the women who showed up at Clark's house today.

Except for the old citizens of Atlanta, most of the women here are the owners of the manors. Although the manor has been leased to Margot and Suellen, they are still the heads of the family. Because they own the land, they naturally own it. The right to speak.

Mrs. Tarleton was one of them.

As an old neighbor of Tara Manor, Mrs. Tarleton is a well-known capable wife in Clayton County. She is not only passionate, but also has a unique skill in raising horses.

She would never have moved to Atlanta with her daughter if it wasn't for the sporadic attacks on white women!

She will take care of the estate herself.

Mrs. Tarleton was such a person.

She is also one of the few wives who are good at using brains and disdain to hide her intelligence and ability.

Mrs. Tarleton tossed her fiery red hair, and cried out in her peculiar, forceful voice, "Those damned Yankees! We must not let them have their way! We must not only let their schemes be smashed!" We have to ask them to let them out obediently!"
