 Definitions
Plantation homes, such as Margaret Mitchell’s Tara, are representative of the larger nineteenth-century residences of the Deep South: Virginia’s largest plantation homes were mostly built during the eighteenth century and featured Palladian-inspired Georgian architectural design.
The word plantation does appear frequently to casually reference properties under cultivation, as we commonly use the word "farm" today: In 1843 the accounting of the Estate of Furneau Southall recorded in Charles City County lists the money collected for the use of the land as "rent for the plantation".
During the twentieth century the term "plantation" was appended to proper place names by many historic sites in Virginia, and throughout the entire South, in an effort to market the unique agriculturally-oriented history of their properties.

 RootsWeb's Guide to Tracing Family Trees No. 25
The image of Tara — the fictional O'Hara plantation in Gone With the Wind — is one of opulence in the antebellum period, and while some Southerners were rich, most genealogists discover the so-called "plantations" of their families were nothing more than farms with modest homes.
For African American researchers trying to locate plantation records where their families toiled in hopes of solving some genealogical riddles, and for descendants of slave-owning Southern ancestors seeking to locate these valuable old records, two myths must be exposed: First, not all slave owners were wealthy, and secondly, not all slaves lived on plantations.

 CNNfyi.com - 'Gone With the Wind' parody draws challenges, supporters - April 13, 2001

Mary Rose Taylor, the founder and executor of Atlanta's Margaret Mitchell House, a "Gone With the Wind" exhibit not associated with Mitchell's trust, noted Mitchell wrote her book between 1926 and 1929, when Atlanta and the entire South were segregated.
At least one other attempted parody of "Gone With the Wind," a stage musical called "Scarlet Fever," was halted by an Atlanta federal judge in 1979.
