Some Southern whites responded to "The Birth of a Nation" with enthusiasm, seeing it as a validation of their views on race and a glorification of the Ku Klux Klan. The film's portrayal of Black characters and its historical inaccuracies sparked outrage among African Americans and their allies, but many Southern whites celebrated it as a heroic narrative of the South's post-Civil War struggles. Additionally, the film contributed to the resurgence of the KKK, as it depicted them as protectors of white womanhood and Southern heritage. Overall, the film reinforced existing racial tensions and divisive attitudes in the South.

What is the positive good theory?
The positive good theory is the idea that slavery was not, actually a "necessary evil," as Jefferson would describe it, but "a good-a positive good" institution for both blacks and whites in that whites get cheap manual labor and blacks benefit from the civilizing effect of being under the guidance of benevolent whites, and exposure to Christianity. The Positive good theory was John C. Calhoun's response during the Missouri crisis as to why slavery was continuing in the south. This theory became southern slaveholders justification from the 1820s through the Civil War. This idea, in similar form, was extended into the Jim Crow era, and is best represented in the film Birth of A Nation.
