       in 2010. 
520    The Civil War may be long over but the spirit of rebellion
       is hard to extinguish even in something as innocent as a 
       girls' summer camp. Southern belle examines the 1861 
       Athenaeum Girls' School where young women eagerly sign up 
       to become that iconic and romantic image of Southern 
       identity: the Southern belle, replete with hoop skirt, hat
       and gloves, singing the region's anthem, Dixie. While the 
       young women are eager to learn the "art" of being a lady 
       by practicing penmanship and learning how to deep curtsy, 
       a larger agenda for the camp appears to lurk under the 
       surface. The teachers, all of whom work for no 
       compensation, hope to instill genteel manners and build 
       pride in Southern heritage. They have also carefully 
       selected the time period so they can share the "truth" 
       with the next generation about why the South seceded from 
       the Union. For them, the Civil War had little to do with 
       slavery and everything to do with states' rights and 
       unfair taxation. Critics, however, say the camp experience
       whitewashes history and misinforms the next generation. Is
       the camp a self-esteem building, living history experience
       or does it ultimately reinforce divisions between race, 
       gender, and geography in the present? As we begin the 
       150th anniversary of the Civil War, Southern belle 
       captures the divisive historical memory of an American 
       subculture and challenges us to consider how a romantic 
       portrayal of the past can affect current attitudes that 
       continue to define and divide America today. Video extras 
       include: The Scholars' Responses: Southern Belle is less 
       about historic fact and more about how people use history 
       to form their identity and understanding of the world. The
       film is meant to ignite discussion and debate between 
       people with different beliefs, experiences and worldviews.
       The Scholars' Responses facilitates dialogue by providing 
       additional historical context and analysis from leading 
       historians and scholars. Topics include: The myth of the 
       Southern Belle (7:43) How the southern belle became an 
       idealized symbol used to maintain social hierarchy and a 
       rallying cry for post- Civil War revisionists. Erasing 
       Slavery from Secession (9:42) How the Lost Cause movement 
       erased slavery as a dominant cause of the Civil War and 
       replaced it with state's rights. Justifications For 
       Slavery (6:03) How misleading and ahistorical arguments 
       are used to rationalize the South's use of slave labor. 
       The Southern Small Farmer (3:47) Why would the "yeoman" 
       farmer go to war with no dog in the Civil War 
       fight?Scholars interviewed: Stan Deaton, PhD, Director, 
       Georgia Historical Society R.  Blakeslee Gilpin, PhD,
