the other that it is not but heavily based on greek
eitherway

Man, why did I have to actually look at this thread? For a moment there I was under the blissful illusion that I actually got over seventy meaningful responses, as opposed to paiktis attacking western europe for a page and a half...
Sorry I wasn't here to reply, folks. My computer went totally whack-nuts last night for reasons beyond my limited comprehension.
Anyway, I think it's safe to say that the movie was NOT historically accurate. The government didn't give forty acres and a mule to any black people, even the Union volunteers they actually promised them to, let alone every freed slave in the south. Also, if I were one of those black militiamen at the end of the movie, I don't think I would have run screaming without firing a shot the moment the guys in white rode in. I'm terrible at strategy, but it seems to me that charging on horseback head-on, in formation, four abreast through city streets with no room to maneuver, against a vastly superior force on foot, the KKK were actually sitting ducks in that situation. At least a dozen men in the militias had a clear field of fire, against enemies who essentially blocked out all but four of their men, who were firing in the air for some damnfool reason, apparently not realizing that their bullets would come down at the same speed as they flew up, killing their compatriots in the long column behind them. A few shots and you'd have the streets barricaded with dead horses and men, and the rear guard would have no choice but to try and jump over them at the speed they were moving. A few more shots after that, the street's a dead end of dead or dying flesh. Move a few troops through the alleys to make a similar mess from ambush throughout the lines, and you have total slaughter MTO. But no, these being "ig'nant ne-groes," they run from laughably outgunned enemies for fear of their scary laundry clothing. Honestly...

The shot of the guy with a stupid uncle tom grin on his face, an Abe Lincoln hat on his head, and an armful of farming tools is just a masterpiece of bigoted surrealism. |
Masterpiece of bigoted surrealism -- someone finally found the perfect, concise description of Birth of a Nation. 
And this statement of "bayonet rule" that a lot of white Southerners use today, to describe Radical Reconstruction? The "bayonet rule" is just another inaccurate portrayal of a complicated period. The problem was not that the Southern states were excessively policed by the Union army, but that too many soldiers were too quickly de-mobilized after the Civil War to be of much legitimate help in the defeated South.
Oh and Imran -- I never hated white Southerners, nor blamed them for all the problems from Reconstruction. 
But if you insist on sitting on my shoulder, harping at me every now and then . . . . .
