** "Cottontop" Mounts is portrayed as being definitely guilty of the murder of Alifair McCoy, whereas in reality it's believed she was killed by either Johnse or Cap (witness accounts being rather confused on who shot who). His confession is thought to have been fabricated in the hope that he would get more lenient treatment if he pleaded guilty.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Though his hands certainly weren't clean in the historical feud, Perry Cline was not a swindling AmoralAttorney, he had known the Hatfields all of his life, and was even related to them by marriage. He and his brother had been orphaned in 1861 (when Perry was 12) and left in the care of their parents' slaves Mose and Charity. Devil Anse took advantage of the situation to seize the Cline family's land along Grapevine Creek via shady lawsuits, intimidation, and squatting. During the Civil War, the pro-Confederate Logan Wildcats—led by Devil Anse Hatfield and Jim Vance—attacked several local pro-Union families including the Clines, with several people being murdered. Among the victims were Perry's brother-in-law Asa Harmon [=McCoy=][[note]] Randall's brother, who was married to Perry's older sister[[/note]] and Mose, the former slave who was Perry's foster father. After the war, Cline was again cheated on a land deal with the Hatfields, this time by Jim Vance, while Devil Anse brought a new lawsuit aimed at taking the Cline homestead via a forged land survey. Perry got his law license specifically because the Hatfields kept trying to steal his property. Cline would later go on to establish a school for black children in Pikeville, and reportedly took care of his foster mother and former slave Charity in her old age.

* FamilialFoe: While Frank Phillips belongs to neither of the FeudingFamilies, he hates Hatfields more than some of the [=McCoy=]s (who become his employers) do. A grandnephew of Devil Anse shoots Frank in the leg while he is serving an eviction notice, and Frank kills that man and his brother in self-defense. Anse then tells Frank to get out of town or risk retaliation. He sticks around and is happy to take BountyHunter jobs to try to kill or arrest Anse’s sons, brothers, nephews, cousins, and uncle, succeeding in many cases.
