Zasu Pitts was originally cast in a supporting role, but D.W. Griffith fired her because he thought she looked too much like the female lead, Lillian Gish. All of her scenes were cut from the final print.
This film featured a then-shocking kiss between a white soldier and a dying black soldier; unfortunately, no copy of the film is known to exist.
A lost film, a print was reported to exist in the film holdings of Cohen Media Group (Raymond Rohauer collection) but this turned out to be a typo.
In 2013, it was believed that this long-lost film was found but it turned out to be a mistaken addition to the listing of Raymond Rohauer's film collection. This is still a lost film.
