In 1859, idealist John Wickliff Shawnessey, a resident of Raintree County, Indiana, is distracted from his high school sweetheart Nell Gaither by Susanna Drake, a rich New Orleans girl. This love triangle is further complicated by the American Civil War, and dark family history.
Editor's Verdict
"While Raintree County was released during the Christmas holiday season (an external factor), the plot centers entirely around the American Civil War, a complex love triangle, and historical drama spanning several years. There are no meaningful narrative, thematic, or iconic connections to the Christmas holiday within the story itself."
