The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: surrender and criticizing the blockaders severely, and when the
Yankees arrested Captain Butler for killing this darky they must
have heard the rumor, because they've been at him to tell them where
the money is. You see, all of our Confederate funds belong to the
Yankees now--at least, the Yankees think so. But Captain Butler
says he doesn't know anything. . . . Dr. Meade says they ought to
hang him anyhow, only hanging is too good for a thief and a
profiteer-- Dear, you look so oddly! Do you feel faint? Have I
upset you talking like this? I knew he was once a beau of yours but
I thought you'd fallen out long ago. Personally, I never approved
of him, for he's such a scamp--"
