Line 18:
''The Birth of a Nation'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 1992 - the same year that the counterbalancing ''[[Within Our Gates]]'' was added to the Registry and three years after Griffith's later work ''[[Intolerance]]'' was listed.
 
This film is in the public domain and can be viewed in its entirety at [http://www.youtube.com/movie?v=FbYXF5HmEds Youtube], or [[{{PAGENAME}}/Source|here on this very wiki]].

* [[Adaptation Distillation]]:
* [[Any Torment You Can Walk Away From]]: Though whether it ends well or not depends a lot on your perspective
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Especially prevalent in the novel. All the heroes are beautiful, all the villains (except for Lydia Brown) are hideous.
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: Flora Cameron jumps off a cliff rather than be raped --sort[[The Birth of, seea belowNation/YMMV|sort of]]-- by a freed slave
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]
* [[Bindle Stick]]: Justified. Carpetbaggers really did carry these.
