Quotes from the film (even though it's a silent):

Intertitle: “This is an historical presentation of the Civil War and Reconstruction Period, and is not meant to reflect on any race or people of today.”

Intertitle: “The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation... until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country.” – [Quoting from Woodrow Wilson’s History of the American People.]

Intertitle: “Liberty and union, one and inseparable, now and forever!”
