Mmmm... except it's more complicated than that. It's not just set in an era of racism, there are certain aspects of the portrayal that might not sit well with modern readers. For example, Flagg waaaaay downplays the KKK. It was okay for a character like Grady to be in the KKK, march in the KKK, but oh, he's not really racist because he doesn't mistreat the black people he knows personally.

It also arguably romanticizes an extremely problematic time period when you notice that most of the black characters are totally fine with being treated like second class citizens and it's not a bad thing because at least a few white people are good to them.
