Hollywood's portrayal of the South has never been sympathetic…

The slave owners owned the land and stores . poor whites were forced to fight or their families kicked out and what little they had taken from them. Kind of like today

Hollywood has always played up the myth of the "Lost Cause" and until recently has generally viewed the South's cause favorably.

Agreed, amcalabrese. The South has always been treated well in films like the original
Birth of a Nation, Gone With the Wind, So Red the Rose
and many others. Only recently have filmmakers looked at the reality of slavery and presented a less romantic view of the South.

Gods and Generals
was about the only film I can think of that ever portrayed the Confederacy fair and balanced. Sympathetic? Even that. Certainly a deeply moving and informative work.
