"The Clansman: An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan" by Thomas Dixon Jr. is a novel published in 1905. Set during the Civil War and Reconstruction, it portrays the rise of the Ku Klux Klan from a pro-Confederate perspective. The story follows Northern and Southern families whose lives intertwine amid political upheaval, as the novel depicts Reconstruction as oppressive and presents the Klan as defenders of white Southerners. This controversial work sparked immediate outrage and was later adapted into the infamous film "The Birth of a Nation."
