Birlikten ayrılmak isteyen Güney eyaletlerinin kurduğu Konfederasyon yenilmiştir. Yeniden Yapılanma Dönemi başlar. Kölelik yasaklanır. Başkan Lincoln'ün suikastiyle, yeni oluşan güven ortamı yerini kaos ve anarşiye bırakır. Özellikle güney eyaletlerinde çeteciler beyaz çiftlik sahiplerine saldırır ve ailelerine göz açtırmazlar. Polis gücüne katılan siyahlar ve melezler beyazları taciz eder. Bunun üzerine asayişi sağlamak üzere "Klan" kurulur. Haçlı şövalyelerini andıran giysileriyle Ku-Klux-Klan üyeleri gecelerin hakimidir artık. Devletin sağlayamadığı adaleti onlar getirir. D.W. Griffith’in sessiz filmi Bir Ulusun Doğuşu, gerçekten de bizlere anlatılan tarih tezinin aksi bir görüşü, üstelik şimdi izlendiğinde epey rahatsız edici bir tonda sunuyor.
