Line 32:
* [[Category Traitor]]: The radical republicans are implied to have betrayed the white race, especially with Stoneman himself having an extramarital affair with a black woman - leading him to give power to the evil mulatto who later try to rape his daughter.
* [[The Cavalry]]: Every single shot of cavalry riding to the rescue in every western, ever, is merely a copy of one of the zillion shots of the Klan riding to the rescue in this film.
* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]]
* [[Closeup On Head]]
* [[Continuity Editing]]: D.W. Griffith practically '''defined''' continuity editing with movies like this.
Line 68:
* [[Southern Belle]]: Mrs. Cameron and her daughters, Margaret and Flora.
* [[The Vamp]]: Lydia Brown.
* [[Where Da White Women At?]]: Sort of. Both Silas Lynch and Gus want White women but the women don't exactly return their feelings.
* [[White Mans Burden]]: Played to some extent really horribly, with Austin Stoneman's [[Scary Black Man|mulatto protégé Silas.]]
* [[Writtenbythe Winners]]: It certainly wasn't the most objective view of the Reconstruction Period.
