* {{Hypocrite}}: Emma constantly derides her brother John as a traitor as he won't fight in the war at all, but makes excuses about how her husband smuggles goods out of Vicksburg, sells them to the Yankee towns upriver, and then buys supplies to smuggle back in, at a profit. Her other brother, Matthew, calls her out on this when he is stationed in the town and visits her.

* AdaptationDistillation: The {{Novelization}} adapts an eight-hour miniseries in about 300 pages, so there is quite a lot of condensing. Notably, Kathy is completely absent, and Lester is DemotedToExtra and is mentioned a couple of times after his wedding to Emma despite sharing his TV version’s fate.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Mark]] dies a horrible death in the war. After watching him celebrate Southern secession, insult his brother’s artistic dreams, and say a lynching victim deserved to be murdered, it’s hard to argue that he deserved to survive the war, even if he might not have deserved to burn to death.

* ButNotTooEvil: The Geyser family is southern and supports secession, but their stance on slavery is--for the most part--unknown. Emma seems to be the most racist and wants to own slaves. Jonathon is explicitly stated to be a freedman who rents property on the Geyser farm, and Pa Geyser refuses to participate in his lynching by a corrupt sheriff. It's more vague, however, to the status of the black housekeeper/maid.

* TenPacesAndTurn: The duel between John and the German is this kind, with pistols. The German cheats and fires off his shot before he reaches his tenth pace. John turns and quickly finishes his paces before taking aim. When the German looks like he's going to bolt, his own second (and "referee" of a sorts) says that if he DOES bolt, he'd shoot him himself.
