Griffith's film about the Civil War is which?

Explanation:
Birth of a Nation is the Griffith film that centers on the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. Released in 1915, it helped establish feature-length storytelling and advanced film techniques, though it remains highly controversial for its racist portrayal of African Americans and its favorable depiction of the Ku Klux Klan. Among the options, this is the one that directly covers the Civil War; the others differ—Intolerance is a sweeping epic about multiple historical periods, The Great Train Robbery is an early Edison-Porter short not about the Civil War, and The Squaw Man is a different story not tied to Griffith’s Civil War narrative.
