Thomas Dixon Remains Defiant Over The Clansman Criticism
In a public reply Dixon addresses critics of The Clansman and defends his portrayal of Thaddeus Stevens as Austin Stoneman. He cites a Stevens speech from 1867, argues for honesty in history, defends his artistic aims, and challenges reviewers while asserting his national allegiance and personal integrity. He notes delays in harmony between north and south and claims personal wealth includes a yacht bought before the book’s publication. Dixon closes with allegiance to readers and faith in his purpose.
