Goofs
The end of the Civil War is conveyed by a newspaper headline describing General Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. However, that was only the surrender of Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. The war itself was not declared over for another month. However, Confederate troops already seem to have been decommissioned within a few days and have gone home to their families and a Union colonel is riding around the countryside telling Confederate stragglers where to go to be demobbed.
Root (Rex Holman) says he’s been in Andersonville Prison since 1862. Andersonville didn’t open until February 1864.
The Union forces are lugging a Gatling Gun with them on their clandestine mission behind Rebel lines in Spring 1865. However, Gatling Guns were not officially purchased by the US army until 1866. The only ones used during the Civil War were purchased privately. It is not clear what a small group of troops commanded by a Captain operating behind enemy lines would be doing with a Gatling Gun.
