At the film's end, Dr. Kendall tells Col. Marlowe that he has decided to stay behind with the wounded Union soldiers. Col. Marlowe replies, "Even if it means Andersonville [a notorious Confederate POW camp]?" Andersonville did not exist in 1863, when this film was set; it was established in 1864. This same error is made by General Grant at the beginning of the film. Also the Confederates only sent enlisted prisoners to Andersonville. Major Kendall would most likely have been sent to Libby Prison in Richmond, which was in fact open in 1863.
