Scarlett 2

Scarlett 2 movie is a continue of Gone with the wine movie, the name and characters are the same but changed the performers.

The movie start with the continue from the end of the first film section. In Scarlett 2, the character of Scarlett O'Hara quit the same but softer from Gone with the wine ,doesn't considering on money as much as in gone with the wine and she has more compassion with other people. Maybe because the lesson that she received from the past in Gone with the wine. Before Melanie Wilkes die Scaritt promise to Melanie that she will take care and look after Melanie son(Beau) and Melanie hasband (Ashley Wilkes) : An only man Scarett has eye on or a man that Scarett always love in the past but now she just realize that she love Rhett Butler her fourth husband but he gave up on her or the love life between him and Scarett already. I think Scarett's starting change after Melanie died. She kept her promise with Melanie by helping Ashley from sadness of his wife passing even it make bad rumor about her. And in one part of the movie, Scarett helped her cousins to pay tax that after civil war tax become the important thing that every house have to pay if not their house is going to destroy. Yes, in the past, Scarett also ever married for the money to pay tax for saving her love home (Tara land).
In this continue film, Scarett characters are still quit the same are a beautiful woman, strong-willed, stubborn, stunningly and very flirtatious with all the gentlemen (maybe it's going to be the pattern of American women in the present) but reduce her selfish and many bad things.
I saw that in the movie one of the train station building was designed as Greek/Roman building that beautiful and people in that time used train or horse carriage to be the transportation.
Had abolish slavery already by changed to be the servant.

Some people call reconstruction after the Civil War, the second Civil War. This is what your movie was about. The "carpet baggers" came from the North to rip off the southerneres and believed that the southerners should be punished for starting the Civil War. This is a good movie about this ugly period in American history.

A lot of ill-will between the two sides today stems from this period.

You saw it correctly, many of the slaves simply became underpaid servants and workers. Not much changed for them in the South after the Civil War. We will see this build and boil under the surface for the next 100 years until the Civil Rights movements of the 1960s. A lot of resentment and hatred was built up over this one hundred year period. An expolision was just waiting to happen.

Good blogging. Good luck on your test.
