29. The KKK part is NOT in the movie

But, as you point out, it is in the book.

FYI: Most men of that time/place/era were all in the KKK. I have this piece of info. from my cousin, the one that is related to the old Confederate woman that is long dead and gone that swore she was related to several (not just one ...) famous Confederates of the day. Said woman also claimed to be from a very rich family that held slaves. Was this true? I have no evidence to support any of her claims. She was Indian -- seems to be perhaps one of those removed from Georgia to Arkansas either before or right after an incident called "The Trail of Tears" occurred.

I have other info. that I have personally seen that I shall not elaborate on (!!!) that confirms what my cousin told me ... all of the men of that time/place/era were ALL in the KKK.

They covered that fact up nicely and I agree with you, Melanie Hamilton Wilkes was an idiot IMO.
