Emily is influenced by her past in multiple ways. The status of her family influenced her life in a significant way seeing that she could avoid the law and live above it. Then there is the past of her dad and how she couldn't walk over the fact that his dad. She still clings on to the only male present that she have experienced before.
Next is her own family and the town's pride. The family probably wouldn't want her to be dating a yankee so does the town. That's why they contacted her cousin to persuade her to dump the Yankee. They are a high up society class that thinks they are better than everyone. To have one in a whole family to do such a thing is just against the norm of the family.
The town wouldn't want such a thing to happen as well since they were the south and the Yankees are the North. The town want all the women in be marry adn have lots of children. However, they want those to be southerner children rather than some Yankee children.
