Answer: “Birth of a Nation”—D. W. Griffith’s disgustingly racist yet titanically original 1915 feature—back to the fore. The movie, set mainly in a South Carolina town before and after the Civil War, depicts slavery in a halcyon light, presents blacks as good for little but subservient labor, and shows them, during Reconstruction, to have been goaded by the Radical Republicans into asserting an abusive dominion over Southern whites. It depicts freedmen as interested, above all, in intermarriage, indulging in legally sanctioned excess and vengeful violence mainly to coerce white women into sexual relations. It shows Southern whites forming the Ku Klux Klan to defend themselves against such abominations and to spur the “Aryan” cause overall. The movie asserts that the white-sheet-clad death squad served justice summarily and that, by denying blacks the right to vote and keeping them generally apart and subordinate, it restored order and civilization to the South.
“Birth of a Nation,” which runs more than three hours, was sold as a sensation and became one; it was shown at gala screenings, with expensive tickets. It was also the subject of protest by civil-rights organizations and critiques by clergymen and editorialists, and for good reason: “Birth of a Nation” proved horrifically effective at sparking violence against blacks in many cities. Given these circumstances, it’s hard to understand why Griffith’s film merits anything but a place in the dustbin of history, as an abomination worthy solely of autopsy in the study of social and aesthetic pathology.
Okay so this one is pretty easy. think about it this way Democrat think more about the poor people while Republicans are more for the rich people. A. is the correct answer.
Answer:
The American Revolution was, of course, fought between America and Great Britain. The second war between America and Great Britain was the War of 1812. Some historians feel that this was an unnecessary war and that the conflicts between the two countries could have been solved peacefully if both sides had communicated more effectively.
Tension had been building up between Great Britain and the United States for several years. The tension was about how the British treated American sailors, how the British were befriending Native Americans, and also about trade policies and taxes. When the war ended in December of 1814, the military fighting stopped, but none of the issues that started the war had been resolved.

In around 500bc the Germanic tribes were living on southern shores of the Baltic and to the south of Scandinavia. There was a tribe called the Franks living in what is today Germany and they moved west to conquer the Roman Gaul.
