Answer:

D) Its racist account of the role of African-Americans in the post-Civil War South

Explanation:

In the Birth of a Nation, African Americans were racistly depcited as aggresive, brute, and the Ku Kux Klan was shown as a good force that tried to protect white people, and especially, white women, from black men.

This racist depictions made the film very polemic, so much that there are film historians who have argued that the Birth of a Nation is the most polemic film in the history of the United States.

African Americans around the country protested the film's exhibition, especially in Boston, and many other progressively-minded people did the same. These efforts were fruitless, probably because the First Amendment protects freedom of speech to a great extent.

However, these efforts did inspire D.W. Griffith to make another film years later, called "Intolerance".

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A) a young woman in the 1920a

Explanation:

<u>The Western girls from the 1920s who were rebelling to the previous ideas about women were called Flappers. </u>

They were considered rebellious, even decadent for the time - they smoked, drank, wore heavy makeup, skirts that were considered short for the time (knee-length), sleeveless dresses, listened to jazz and were very independent.

They made moves on the fields of education, science, law, literature, and pursued careers. They demanded economic and social freedom.

They also started the talk about sex and birth control, for the first time in history. All of this took another step when nurse Margaret Sanger provided contraceptive pills for women and started an organization that would become what is today known as Planned Parenthood.
