There's a lot more going on that pseudo glorification of slavery and plantation life. It's pushing the mythos of that life, how the black people behaved like children, there were many hollywood movies of the time that perpetuated those stereotypes. The story of the maid and her reactions and behavior, like she wasn't quite an adult or real person.
