grammaticality - Subject/object in this sentence: "Against no one was feeling more bitter than against Rhett Butler"

From Gone with the Wind, Chapter 16, by Margaret Mitchell, 1936:

Against no one was feeling more bitter than against Rhett Butler.

I understand what it means, but I don't understand how this sentence works grammatically. I am confused about what the subject and object of this sentence are.

To me, it seems like either the object or the subject is missing. Is the "one" in this case referring to Butler or to the people feeling bitter?

Is this just a rare type of grammatical construction, or is there something I'm missing?

Answer

It's easier to understand in context (emphasis and comments are mine):

It was a situation made to order for speculators and profiteers, and
men were not lacking to take advantage of it. As food and clothing
grew scarcer and prices rose higher and higher, the public outcry
against the speculators grew louder and more venomous. In those early
days of 1864, no newspaper could be opened that did not carry scathing
editorials denouncing the speculators as vultures and bloodsucking
leeches and calling upon the government to put them down with a hard
hand. The government did its best, but the efforts came to nothing,
for the government was harried by many things.

Against no one was [this] feeling more bitter than against Rhett Butler. He
had sold his boats when blockading grew too hazardous, and he was now
openly engaged in food speculation.
