" The year was 1865. With the close of the Civil War, there began for the South, an era of even greater turmoil. In The Clansman, his controversial 1905 novel, later the basis of the motion picture The Birth of a Nation, Thomas Dixon, describes the social, political, and economic disintegration that plagued the South during Reconstruction, depicting the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and the reactions of two families to racial conflict. This study in social history was alternatively praised and damned by contemporary critics. As historian Thomas D. Clark notes in his introduction, the novel "opened wider a vein of racial hatred which was to poison further an age already in social and political upheaval. Dixon had in fact given voice in his novel to one of the most powerful latent forces in the social and political mind of the South." For modern readers, The Clansman probes the roots of the racial violence that still haunts our society.

Excerpt from The Leopard's Spots: A Romance of the White Man's Burden 1865-1900IN answer to hundreds of letters, I wish to say that all the incidents used in Book I., which is properly the prologue of my story, were selected from authentic records, or came Within my personal knowledge.The only serious liberty I have taken with history is to tone down the facts to make them credible in fiction. The village Of Hambright is my birthplace and is located near the center of Military District no. 2, comprising the Carolinas, which were destroyed as States by an Act Of Con gress in 1867. It will be a century yet before people out side the South can be made to believe a literal statement Of the history Of those times.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Clansman

<p>"The Clansman" develops the true story of the "Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy," which overturned the Reconstruction rgime. The organization was governed by the Grand Wizard Commander-in-Chief, who lived at Memphis, Tennessee. The Grand Dragon commanded a State, the Grand Titan a Congressional District, the Grand Giant a County, and the Grand Cyclops a Township Den. The twelve volumes of Government reports on the famous Klan refer chiefly to events which occurred after 1870, the date of its dissolution. "I have sought to preserve in this romance both the letter and the spirit of this remarkable period. The men who enact the drama of fierce revenge into which I have woven a double love-story are historical figures. I have merely changed their names without taking a liberty with any essential historic fact." - Thomas Dixon, Jr.</p>
