Description: The Clansman by Thomas Dixon, Arthur I. Keller Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The most famous novel of the "Reconstruction Trilogy," based on the events in the US South following the end of the Civil War, "The Clansman" became the basis for the 1915 epic movie "Birth of a Nation." Using fictional characters, based on real personalities of the time (such as Augustus Stoneman, who is a personification of the real life Thaddeus Stevens), it tells of the tumultuous events following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, whose death allowed the Reconstructionists to direct US internal policy in the South.This in turn gave rise to much resentment in the South, and the book then follows the story of a Confederate Army veteran Ben Cameron, who, as part of the original Ku Klux Klan, is successful in overthrowing the Reconstruction regime.The book was highly successful in its day, selling in the hundreds of thousands. As a play and as the film Birth of a Nation, it was seen by millions and officially endorsed by then US President Woodrow Wilson.The other two volumes in this trilogy, "The Leopards Spots" and "The Traitor," were equally as successful as "The Clansman." Author Biography Thomas Frederick Dixon Jr. (1864-1946) was born in Shelby, North Carolina, and was noted for his academic prowess, earning a masters degree and a law degree by 1885. While still a 20-year old student, he ran for a seat in the North Carolina General Assembly as a Democrat, and won handsomely, despite being too young to vote himself. He resigned from politics after only one session, citing his disgust with the level of corruption he encountered. After that, he practiced as a lawyer and then as a Baptist preacher, before turning his hand to writing. His output included 22 novels, a large number of plays and various essays. He is buried in his home town. Details ISBN 1915645212 ISBN-13 9781915645210 Title The Clansman Author Thomas Dixon, Arthur I.
