The Birth Of A Nation is a 1915 silent movie which was directed by D.W. Griffith and based on the 1905 novel and play, The Clansman: An Historical Romance Of The Ku Klux Klan by Thomas Dixon Jr, a known supporter of the Republican Party and Ku Klux Klan, two conservative political parties. The film was also known as the first feature film in general to be released. As the result of the controversies, D.W. Griffith released his next film Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout The Ages (1916), which is regarded as more liberal than his previous film.
