But
there
were
many
things
which
Will
and
Ashley
had
conspired
to
keep
from
her
.
The
scourge
of
war
had
been
followed
by
the
worse
scourge
of
Reconstruction
,
but
the
two
men
had
agreed
not
to
mention
the
more
alarming
details
when
they
discussed
the
situation
at
home
.
And
when
Scarlett
took
the
trouble
to
listen
to
them
at
all
,
most
of
what
they
said
went
in
one
ear
and
out
the
other
.
She
had
heard
Ashley
say
that
the
South
was
being
treated
as
a
conquered
province
and
that
vindictiveness
was
the
dominant
policy
of
the
conquerors
.
But
that
was
the
kind
of
statement
which
meant
less
than
nothing
at
all
to
Scarlett
.
Politics
was
men
's
business
.
She
had
heard
Will
say
it
looked
to
him
like
the
North
just
was
n't
aiming
to
let
the
South
get
on
its
feet
again
.
Well
,
thought
Scarlett
,
men
always
had
to
have
something
foolish
to
worry
about
.
As
far
as
she
was
concerned
,
the
Yankees
had
n't
whipped
her
once
and
they
would
n't
do
it
this
time
.
The
thing
to
do
was
to
work
like
the
devil
and
stop
worrying
about
the
Yankee
government
.
After
all
,
the
war
was
over
.
Scarlett
did
not
realize
that
all
the
rules
of
the
game
had
been
changed
and
that
honest
labor
could
no
longer
earn
its
just
reward
.
Georgia
was
virtually
under
martial
law
now
.
The
Yankee
soldiers
garrisoned
throughout
the
section
and
the
Freedmen
's
Bureau
were
in
complete
command
of
everything
and
they
were
fixing
the
rules
to
suit
themselves
.
This
Bureau
,
organized
by
the
Federal
government
to
take
care
of
the
idle
and
excited
ex-slaves
,
was
drawing
them
from
the
plantations
into
the
villages
and
cities
by
the
thousands
.
The
Bureau
fed
them
while
they
loafed
and
poisoned
their
minds
against
their
former
owners
.
Gerald
's
old
overseer
,
Jonas
Wilkerson
,
was
in
charge
of
the
local
Bureau
,
and
his
assistant
was
Hilton
,
Cathleen
Calvert
's
husband
.
These
two
industriously
spread
the
rumor
that
the
Southerners
and
Democrats
were
just
waiting
for
a
good
chance
to
put
the
negroes
back
into
slavery
and
that
the
negroes
'
only
hope
of
escaping
this
fate
was
the
protection
given
them
by
the
Bureau
and
the
Republican
party
.
Wilkerson
and
Hilton
furthermore
told
the
negroes
they
were
as
good
as
the
whites
in
every
way
and
soon
white
and
negro
marriages
would
be
permitted
,
soon
the
estates
of
their
former
owners
would
be
divided
and
every
negro
would
be
given
forty
acres
and
a
mule
for
his
own
.
They
kept
the
negroes
stirred
up
with
tales
of
cruelty
perpetrated
by
the
whites
and
,
in
a
section
long
famed
for
the
affectionate
relations
between
slaves
and
slave
owners
,
hate
and
suspicion
began
to
grow
.
The
Bureau
was
backed
up
by
the
soldiers
and
the
military
had
issued
many
and
conflicting
orders
governing
the
conduct
of
the
conquered
.
It
was
easy
to
get
arrested
,
even
for
snubbing
the
officials
of
the
Bureau
.
Military
orders
had
been
promulgated
concerning
the
schools
,
sanitation
,
the
kind
of
buttons
one
wore
on
one
's
suit
,
the
sale
of
commodities
and
nearly
everything
else
.
Wilkerson
and
Hilton
had
the
power
to
interfere
in
any
trade
Scarlett
might
make
and
to
fix
their
own
prices
on
anything
she
sold
or
swapped
.
Fortunately
Scarlett
had
come
into
contact
with
the
two
men
very
little
,
for
Will
had
persuaded
her
to
let
him
handle
the
trading
while
she
managed
the
plantation
.
In
his
mild-tempered
way
,
Will
had
straightened
out
several
difficulties
of
this
kind
and
said
nothing
to
her
about
them
.
Will
could
get
along
with
Carpetbaggers
and
Yankees
--
if
he
had
to
.
But
now
a
problem
had
arisen
which
was
too
big
for
him
to
handle
.
The
extra
tax
assessment
and
the
danger
of
losing
Tara
were
matters
Scarlett
had
to
know
about
--
and
right
away
.
She
looked
at
him
with
flashing
eyes
.
