Sam, I actually missed all of the stuff except the white van. The guy who posted up those 25 mistakes must've been watching for all the inconsistencies. I was just watching the movie to see how closely it followed what I had read. Until my attention was brought to those errors I really didn't have a clue. I wasn't aware that exploding shells did not have the fiery aspect to them, back in those days. To be honest though, I had a problem with the action at the angle when the cannons were fired point blank at a group of guys and they all flew up in the air intact. Nobodys arm was missing, no heads or legs flying around, etc. but then I figured the Union artillerists were probably shooting Hollywood canister. It kills ya but doesn't disturb your makeup, costumes, or tear off any limbs, or mess with the choreography.
