Controversy, Controversy!

Well, I won't add to the fire. BoaN is an amazing piece of filmmaking for 1914. The first half is somewhat historically accurate, but where did the second half come from? So, good filmmaking - bad history. On a note of fact, the Ku-Klux Klan was founded by General Nathan Bedford Forrest CSA. Forrest is lauded in the South as a great cavalryman, and condemned in the North as a bushwacking butcher. Nonetheless, his statue stands under the rotunda of the Tennessee State House.
