Answer: Silas Lynch
Explanation:
The birth of a Nation follows the lives of two families, Cameron family and Stoneman family.
Camerons were aristocrats from the south while the stonemans were carpet baggers from the north. After the assassination of the President Abraham Lincoln radical Politicians invaded and took control of Washington and were sanctioning harsh punishments to the south for the civil war.
US senator and the Leader of Stonemans Austin Stoneman sent Silas Lynch to the South. Silas Lynch was a protégé of Austin Stoneman who was Biracial and was sent to the South to help and Oversee the Reconstruction of the South. Apart from overseeing the reconstruction of the South Silas Lynch helped the Slaves who were newly freed to exercise their voting rights and build the lives all over again. Ben Cameron was not content with how things were in South under the new leadership particularly with regards to showing respect to black people. The problem starts when a black soldier named Gus followed the younger sister of Ben Cameron Flora who used to get spring water from the woods. When Gus followed Flora (because he wanted to marry her), Flora panicked and ran until she reach a very high cliff where he jumped off and died.
Upon hearing the news of his sister's death, Ben Cameron the brother of Flora formed an organization named the Ku Klux Klan devoted to white supremacy and oppression. The very first task of this newly formed organization was to avenge the death of Flora by killing the Black soldier Gus and drop his body on Silas Lynch’s door step. The war erupted between Silas Lynch and the Ku Klux Klan led by Ben Cameron
