Summary

Americans Defend Confederacy

Some Americans view the Confederacy as a protective talisman and claim it will rise again.
Supporters defend Confederate symbols with the slogan “Heritage, not hate.”
Opponents argue that racism drives the continued veneration of the Confederacy.
Critics say Major General William T. Sherman’s Georgia campaign should have continued beyond Georgia.

History

Historical Context

In 1915, D.W. Griffith released *The Birth of a Nation*, President Woodrow Wilson praised it, sparking a nationwide revival of the Ku Klux Klan and influencing white supremacist politics. The film generated $1.5 million in box-office receipts, drew protests from the NAACP, and recruited roughly 4,000 new Klan members within its first year, according to contemporary reports. Today's far-right activists echo Griffith’s narrative, using Trump’s rhetoric, Confederate symbols, and anti-LGBT propaganda to mobilize similar scapegoating of immigrants, Muslims, and feminists. The 1915 resurgence demonstrated how media-driven hate can reshape national discourse, warning that unchecked extremist mythmaking may again erode democratic norms.
