Griffith's The Birth of a Nation is remembered not only for its brilliant cinematography, innovative editing, and superb acting, but also for its racist portayal of blacks and sympathetic depiction of the Ku Klux Klan. Recounting the events leading up to an immediately following one of the bloodiest and brutal times in American history, The Birth of a Nation tells the tale of two families deeply divided by the Civil War. The Camerons, from the South, side with Dixie, while the Stonemans, from the North, stand with the Union. In the aftermath of the war, Ben Cameron, a brave yet disillusioned Confederate soldier, creates a covert group of impassioned Southerners called the Ku Klux Klan as an answer to the supposed problem of the rise and rule of blacks and carpetbaggers. Bent on revenge and fueled by angry retribution for the untimely death of his sister, Ben leads his KKK followers in a war to suppress the black threat to white society, ultimately restoring "order" to his beloved South.
