The Southern way of life prior to "The Recent Unpleasantness"

There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South... Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization gone with the wind...

I find it amazing that anyone with decency would have fond memories of a time when almost half of the humans in a society were enslaved.

Basically, it means "disappeared". Scarlett wonders if her home, Tara, has survived or is "Gone with the Wind which had swept through Georgia." Margaret Mitchell took the expression from a poem by Ernest Dowson, "I have forgot much, Cynara! Gone with the wind, Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng"
