In the section of Gone With the Wind in chapters 26-30, we see a lot of stereotyping. One bit that really stood out to me was how everyone, even the slaves, said Yankees were savages who "attacked unprotected women, cut throats, burned women alive, and bayoneted children because they cried." According to the Southerners in this book, and possibly Southerners in the real Civil War, every yankee was a child-killing rapist when, in fact, this just wasn't true. Of course, there were a couple, I'm sure, but there were a couple in the Confederate Army, as well. This is an atrocious overgeneralization. It's interesting how they are so appalled that the Yankees burn and steal kill when the Confederates soldiers are doing the same thing. Of course, to the Southerners, to the Southerners, the Cause is the most just Cause in the history of Causes, and they should do anything they can to win over the evil Yankees. But to them, every Yankee, even if they're nice, even if they're not soldiers, is the epitome of evil. And nothing anyone says will change that.
