Where can I find that movie?
Torrent it? Given how old it is you can find it on legaltorrents or whatnot probably.

And of course this means that a real scenario as per The Birth of a Nation would be rather unlikely to produce the OTL Klan as people like Forrest and Hampton are likely to be swinging from the gallows, not leading it.
Well, they could always find someone else to lead it. If Forrest or Hampton isn't around someone else would take their place. It isn't like there was a shortage of racists at the time.
Ooh, there's an interesting idea. The Ku Klux Klan details some members to dress up in blackface and launch a coup, and the rest of them just happen to be right on the spot to suppress the coup before the real military can arrest them and see they're actually white men... Okay, probably would be so insane not even the Klan would think it'd work. But its spectacular failure would make a great comedy!You mean a coup by white people in blackface.

Whether or not that someone else is a military man with experience in leading relatively large number of troops or a political figure with popular legitimacy, however, does matter.
