As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me

As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again. -- Gone with the Wind

That part is spoken by the character Scarlett in the movie Gone with the Wind. What is she saying? She would go hungry when she is going through whatever it is but once it's over she is determined never to go hungry again. What does this mean? Please guide me. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Clive.

I think once it's over she would work hard that never ever she has to go through such hard times again. Does this mean something particular in the context of the movie (assuming you've watched it) or the n

The North burned their crops and took anything of value from their plantations literally leaving them starving in some cases.
