<u>The Birth of a Nation was a film that triggered the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1910s and 1920s. </u>Its original name was "the Clansman". It was released in 1915.
The film is set during the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, and tells the story of two families: one pro-Union and the other pro-Confederacy.
The film was a commercial success but it was also very polemic because of the manner in which black men were portrayed as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and because it represented the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as a heroic force. Such image presented, inspired the revival of the KKK.
I think that it focused on the welfare of humanity in society
... discourage African Americans from voting.
Poll taxes means you have to pay a tax before allowed to vote. That's a way of preventing poor persons (like blacks in the South) from voting.
In addition to poll taxes, other measures were also used to block blacks from participating in the voting process. For instance, literacy tests would require persons to pass certain standards of reading and writing in order to qualify for voting. These tests were aimed at blacks, who had not had access to the same education as whites.
The answer is Mohandas K. Gandhi.
Hope this helps!
