           Days after the shelling of Fort Sumter (April 1861), the beginning of America's War Between The States, Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara learns that Ashley Wilkes, the man she loves, is going to marry a cousin from Atlanta. At a party next day at the Twelve Oaks plantation, Scarlett admits to Ashley that she loves him; he states that he loves her as well, but will still marry Melanie. Rhett Butler overhears the exchange; Scarlett tells him that he is no gentleman, he tells her that she is no lady. Word arrives that President Lincoln has called for troops, and the men race off to enlist for the Confederacy. On the rebound, Scarlett accepts a marriage proposal from Charles Hamilton; both couples are married within weeks, and the men go off to war.
           Scarlett and Melanie become friends. Charles dies at camp before seeing battle; widowhood and the subsequent birth of a son bring a tedious life, and Scarlett is glad to be sent to relatives in Atlanta. Scarlett and Melanie tend the wounded, and at a fund-raising bazaar, Rhett causes a scandal by asking widowed Scarlett to dance. Rhett stays in Atlanta and calls on Aunt Pittypat as cover for meeting Scarlett. Ashley visits home for Christmas (1863), and when Scarlett tries to get Ashley to again tell her that he loves her, he makes her promise to take care of Melanie while he is away at war. After Melanie realizes that she is 'with child', word arrives that Ashley has been killed, which soon changes to missing; Rhett pulls strings to get the information that Ashley was captured and is in a Yankee prison camp in Illinois.
           As Atlanta falls under seige by Union forces, most residents flee, but Melanie's doctor refuses to let her travel, and Scarlett and slave Prissy deliver the baby as best they can, leaving Melanie weak from blood loss. Scarlett hears that the Confederate Army is deserting Atlanta; she sends for Rhett, who arrives with a worn out old horse and a dilapidated wagon. He carts the women and the baby through a city in flames. Once they are safely away, he kisses Scarlett and tells her that he does indeed love her, and then heads back to help fight against the Yankees.
           The women arrive at Tara plantation to find it in ruins, mother dead, father insane, and two sisters ill with typhoid. A Union soldier invades the house, seeking spoils, and Scarlett shoots him; she and Melanie swear secrecy and bury the body. Word arrives that the South lost the war and the Confederacy is dissolved, and soldiers begin straggling back to their homes. The people of Tara do their best to aid the returning veterans; Ashley appears and both women are ecstatic.
           The Yankees levy $300 in taxes on Tara; Scarlett travels to Atlanta to beg for the money from Rhett, and finds him in jail. She puts up a front of affluence, but Rhett notices her work-worn hands; he states that he would not give her the money if he had it. She runs into the beau of her still-unmarried sister Suellen, charms him into marrying her, and thus obtains the money to save Tara from the taxman. Scarlett remains in Atlanta, and bears a daughter, named Ella.
           While driving her wagon alone, Scarlett is attacked by two men - one white, one black - and the Ku Klux Klan raids the nearby shantytown in revenge; Ashley is injured and Scarlett's husband is killed by local law enforcement. Rhett contrives a phony alibi for the men at Belle Watling's 'house'; the men are embarrassed, but the wives are thankful. After the funeral, Rhett proposes marriage to Scarlett; they tie the knot (1868), and prosper from business dealings with the Yankees; they are snubbed by society for that and for flaunting their wealth. Scarlett bears Rhett a daughter, nicknamed Bonnie Blue Butler. Scarlett tells Rhett that she wants no more children, and that they will no longer share a bed; left without emotional ties, Rhett sees other women and spoils his daughter.
           Local gossips spread a rumor based on an innocent embrace between Scarlett and Ashley; Melanie stands by her friend; Scarlett finds Rhett drunk; they fight and make passionate love. Rhett takes his daughter on an extended trip; returning three months later, Scarlett informs him that she is carrying his child; they fight, and Scarlett miscarriages. Scarlett returns to Tara to recuperate; four-year-old Bonnie dies in a pony-riding accident; Scarlett blames Rhett, Rhett blames himself, and they continue living together as strangers. Scarlett is summoned to Melanie's bedside (she is dying from a miscarriage); Scarlett realizes that she never really loved Ashley, only his dashing pre-War persona. She rushes home to share her revelation with Rhett, but he is now drained of all love for her. When she asks what she will do, he delivers the famous line "My dear, I don't give a damn", and leaves. Scarlett returns to Tara, believing that Rhett is her true love and that he will eventually return to her.
