Paul D. Escott Quote
One South Carolinian who grew up early in the twentieth century did not learn that the South had lost the war until he was twelve years old. ‘It was one of the saddest awakenings I ever had,’ he recalled. Similarly, Margaret Mitchell remembered that she heard so much about the fighting and hard times after the war that I firmly believed Mother and Father had been through it all instead of being born long afterward. [141—42]
