Dixon writes To The Reader: Now that my story is done I see that it is the strangest fiction that I have ever written. Because it is true. It actually happened. Every character in it is historic. I have not changed even a name. Every event took place. Therefore it is incredible. Yet I have in my possession the proofs establishing each character and each event as set forth. They are true beyond question. The story begins: The fireflies on the Virginia hills were blinking in the dark places beneath the trees and a katydid was singing in the rosebush beside the portico at Arlington. The stars began to twinkle in the serene sky. The lights of Washington flickered across the river. The Capitol building gleamed argus-eyed on the hill. Congress was in session, still wrangling over the question of Slavery and its extension into the territories of the West.

1905. The Clansman is the second book of a series of historical novels planned on the Race Conflict. The Leopard's Spots was the statement in historical outline of the conditions from the enfranchisement of the Negro to his disenfranchisement. The Clansman develops the true story of the Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy, which overturned the Reconstruction regime...I have sought to preserve in this romance both the letter and the spirit of this remarkable period. The men who enact the drama of fierce revenge into which I have woven a double love-story are historical figures. I have merely changed their names without taking a liberty with any essential historic fact. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1912 Edition.

Volume I of the "Reconstruction Trilogy" set of historically accurate novels designed to tell the post Civil War story from the Southern side. The Leopard's Spots follows the story of Charles Gaston, son of a famous Confederate colonel, who leads his state of North Carolina on to a victory over the Reconstructionists who sought to create a Haiti-type situation in the South. Although it was the author's intention to set the balance straight, the book highlights the madness of slavery, the impossibility of segregation and that physical racial geographical separation is the only answer to the race problem. The other two volumes in this trilogy, Vol. II: The Clansman and Vol. III: The Traitor, were equally as successful, with The Clansman being made into DW Griffiths' smash movie hit, Birth of a Nation.

The Traitor is Volume III of the "Reconstruction Trilogy" set of historically accurate novels designed to tell the post Civil War story from the Southern side. Dixon, a Baptist preacher, was driven to write the trilogy after seeing a stage version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Offended at the many lies and anti-Southern slander in that book, Dixon set about writing a comparative story told from the other side. This book tells the story of John Graham, a native of North Carolina who becomes head of the Ku Klux Klan in his state. It opens with the order of dissolution of the Klan by its founder, General Nathan Bedford Forest, who regarded its work as done, and is set in the atmosphere of the fierce neighborhood feuds which marked the Klan's downfall in the Piedmont region of the South. Graham is first betrayed, and then ultimately rescued by the daughter of one of the Klan's victims. Written in the colorful (and now very politically incorrect) style of the time, this book is a remarkable combination of a call for American unity and racial preservation. Although Thomas Dixon personally condemned slavery and Klan activities after Reconstruction ended, he argued that blacks must be denied political equality because that leads to social equality and miscegenation, and thus the destruction of civilization. Although it was the author's intention to set the balance straight, the book highlights the madness of slavery, the impossibility of segregation and that physical racial geographical separation is the only answer to the race problem. The other two volumes in this trilogy are Vol. I: The Leopard's Spots and Vol. II: The Clansman. The latter book was made into the smash movie hit Birth of a Nation by DW Griffiths.

""The Victim: A Romance of the Real Jefferson Davis"" is a novel by Thomas Dixon that explores the life of the former President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis. The book is set in the aftermath of the American Civil War and follows the story of Davis as he is imprisoned and put on trial for his role in the war. Dixon portrays Davis as a victim of circumstance, caught up in the politics and events of his time, rather than a villainous figure. The novel also explores themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, as Davis's wife and family stand by him throughout his ordeal. Overall, ""The Victim"" is a compelling and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that sheds light on an often-overlooked figure in American history.1914. Dixon's earlier works including The Clansman, which was made into the movie, Birth of A Nation, made his reputation as the anti-black novelist for the Jim Crow south. Dixon writes To The Reader: In the historical romance which I have woven of the dramatic events of the life of Jefferson Davis I have drawn his real character unobscured by passion or prejudice. Forced by his people to lead their cause, his genius created an engine of war so terrible in its power that through it five million Southerners, without money, without a market, without credit, withstood for four years the shock of twenty million men of their own blood and of equal daring, backed by boundless resources. The achievement is without a parallel in history, and adds new glory to the records of our race. The scenes have all been drawn from authentic records in my possession. I have not at any point taken a liberty with an essential detail of history.
