A lot of groundbreaking editing techniques emerged from Birth Of A Nation. It is unfortunate that the film was created to sustain and push racist propaganda.

FDR condoned segregation and racism. Encouraged it by sending Issei and Nisei to internment camps in the desert,even though they were American citizens. And he remained silent as sailors attacked Latinos and blacks in the Zoot Suit Riots. And refused to integrate the military.

It's a story about history and facts about past presidents largely unknown to the general public. The reader can make up her/his/shim own mind about the other factors.
