April 23, 1841
Nope this can't be. Because she was only 16 when the war Started in 1861, so that would have to have her being born in the year 1845.
Also April 23 has got to be wrong, as well, because The barbeque at the Wilks' Plantation took place the day before Ft Sumter was fired upon, and that was on April 12, 1861...So that would have made Scarlett just shy of 16, but Ms Mitchell says she was already 16.
Note: The Barbeque at the Wilkes' Plantation did not take place the day before Ft. Sumter was fired on. In the meeting the men have, they specifically mention the firing on Ft. Sumter and Charles Hamilton mentions to Scarlett that Lincoln has called to arms the Union which occurred on April 15, 1861, three days after the firing on Ft. Sumter. Also, the news of Lincoln's call to arms would have taken days if not weeks to reach Georgia let alone the Wilkes plantation. Georgia succeeded on January 19, 1861.
