==Southern whites: popular white==
In popular literature two novels by Thomas Dixon—''The Clansman'' and ''The Leopard's Spots: A Romance of the White Man's Burden — 1865–1900''—romanticized white resistance to Northern/black coercion, hailing vigilante action by the Ku Klux Klan. Other authors romanticized the benevolence of slavery and the happy world of the antebellum plantation. These sentiments were expressed on the screen in [[D.W. Griffith]]'s anti-Republican 1915 movie ''[[The Birth of a Nation]]''.
