Plenty of them. Just look at all the paragraphs that begin with ';Factual errors';:

Factual error: When the 54th Mass. marches past a liberated plantation some black children wave them on. One of them is wearing a digital wristwatch.

About 3 seconds later, without the order having been given, they are in hand to hand combat with bayonets fixed.

Correct entryChange textChange typeDuplicate entryAdd timecodeAdd screenshot Factual error: During the burial scene at the end of the movie, the corpses of the 54th soldiers are shown with only their shoes removed. In reality, the corpses of the 54th dead were stripped of all usable clothing, as the South was desparate for any uniform parts (source: ';A Brave, Black Regiment'; by Louis Emilio). At the very least, the corpses of the officers would have been picked clean by souvenir hunters.

A row of stakes has been placed in the ground and a watermelon tied to each one which he slices apart with his sword as he gallops past.The caption tells us that it is February 1863 in Massachusetts. There is no way you could get fresh watermelons in that state at that time of year in 1863.

Factual error: In the movie, the soldiers of the 54th Mass. were not issued their uniform until long after enlistment. However, according to many history books about 54th Mass., the soldiers of 54th Mass. were issued their uniform immediately after enlistment.
