After famously (and quite controversially) covering The American Civil War in The Birth of a Nation, it was perhaps inevitable that D. W. Griffith would eventually follow it up with a historical epic about The American Revolution.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })America: Or Love and Sacrifice is a 1924 silent film starring Carol Dempster, Neil Hamilton, and Lionel Barrymore. Based on the 1905 novel The Reckoning by Robert W. Chambers, the story follows Nathan Holden, a young Patriot, as he fights for American independence and woos Nancy Montague, who is very pretty for a Loyalist. Meanwhile, the evil Walter Butler, with a reprobate army of renegades and Indians, is out to destroy America and claim Nancy for himself.Despite heavy promotion, the movie was a Box Office Bomb. Its failure is considered to mark the point at which Griffith was no longer considered Hollywood's preeminent director. | |

Bridal Carry: Walter Butler carries Nancy up the stairs like this, obviously planning to have his way with her, but he's interrupted by Joseph Brant before he can have his fun. | |

The Empire | |
| America / int_556a4e20 | comment |
The Empire: Specifically, The British Empire. An intertitle makes it clear that the movie does not consider the present-day 1920s British Empire to be quite so nefarious, but that wasn't enough to save the film from being banned in the U.K. upon its original release. | |

Duel to the Death | |
| America / int_7919a45b | comment |
Duel to the Death: Nathan and Charles almost have a pistol duel over Nancy's honor, but this is in Lexington on the morning of April 19, 1775, so they get interrupted by the more important conflict. | |
