Oh gently caress and Opium and weed during the boom of the jazz age? How the gently caress did this movie make any money when all those drugs and good dancing music were around.

Back in the 1930's the US was literally only two generations removed from the Civil war, OP. It was still relatively fresh in the public consciousness and thus sympathetic to audiences of the time.

By 1900 a vet of the civil war who had been 20 at the time would only be 50. They're still telling war stories to their kids and grandkids.

My argument is that by 1930 the Civil war was only just fading out of living memory. That's usually around the time historical events experience a cultural resurgence.
