The first film on the disc, The Klansman is an adaptation of a novel called, strangely enough "The Klansman." You'll note that I do not provide a link to that book, because Epinions.com does not have it in their database.
I have never read the book myself (nor do I want to), but judging from the film version, I'd say that if the original source material truly was that good, then the producers of the film version have made a botched adaptation of it.
The Klansman tells the convoluted story of the residents of Wallace County, which is literally INFESTED with white trash.

If the African-American trailblazer has any qualms about endorsing the man who filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act and who disdainfully referred to fls as "the darkest specimens of the wilds," he's keeping them to himself.

In a letter to Green, Byrd urged, "the Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the Union."
A year later in 1948, Byrd opposed President Truman's initiative to integrate the Armed Forces - and he did so using the language of a very much active Klansman.
"If Byrd said he thought the Klan's main job was fighting communism, he's either not being honest about why he joined - or he was a Klansman a lot longer than he now wants to admit," said the World War II vet.
