| 1902 | The Leopard's Spots. The first installment of Dixon's sensational white supremacist trilogy, treating the Southern response to Reconstruction, is a parody of Uncle Tom's Cabin that justifies lynching, Jim Crow segregation laws, and the disenfranchisement of African Americans. It would be followed by The Clansman (1905) and The Traitor (1907). |
| 1905 | The Clansman. Dixon's heroic portrait of Southern white resistance to Reconstruction is widely credited with revitalizing the Ku Klux Klan, which is portrayed as redeeming the South from black domination. It would provide the source for D. W. Griffith's landmark film The Birth of a Nation (1915) and is the second of a trilogy on Southern history, preceded by The Leopard's Spots (1902) and to be followed by The Traitor (1907). |
