List of voters for the quote

Gerald: [the men are discussing the prospect of going to war with the North] And what does the captain of our troops say? Ashley: Well, gentlemen, if Georgia fights, I go with her. But like my father I hope that the Yankees let us leave the Union in peace. Man: But Ashley, Ashley, they've insulted us! Charles: You can't mean you don't want war! Ashley: Most of the miseries of the world were caused by wars. And when the wars were over, no one ever knew what they were about. Gerald: [the other men protest] Now gentlemen, Mr. Butler has been up North I hear. Don't you agree with us, Mr. Butler? Rhett: I think it's hard winning a war with words, gentlemen. Charles: What do you mean, sir? Rhett: I mean, Mr. Hamilton, there's not a cannon factory in the whole South. Man: What difference does that make, sir, to a gentleman? Rhett: I'm afraid it's going to make a great deal of difference to a great many gentlemen, sir. Charles: Are you hinting, Mr. Butler, that the Yankees can lick us? Rhett: No, I'm not hinting. I'm saying very plainly that the Yankees are better equipped than we. They've got factories, shipyards, coalmines... and a fleet to bottle up our harbors and starve us to death. All we've got is cotton, and slaves and... arrogance. Man: That's treacherous! Charles: I refuse to listen to any renegade talk! Rhett: Well, I'm sorry if the truth offends you. Charles: Apologies aren't enough sir. I hear you were turned out of West Point, Mr. Rhett Butler. And that you aren't received in a decent family in Charleston. Not even your own. Rhett: I apologize again for all my shortcomings. Mr. Wilkes, Perhaps you won't mind if I walk about and look over your place. I seem to be spoiling everybody's brandy and cigars and... dreams of victory.
