* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Selkirk [=McCoy=]’s voting to acquit Floyd Hatfield of pig theft. He does voice a good reason (the testimony of Bill Wallace) that makes it sound reasonable but as he is also employed by the Hatfield family, he might have been biased.

** Say what you will about [[{{Jerkass}} the despicable Jim Vance]], but it still absolutely destroys you when he has to put his dog--who stayed by his side during battle--[[ShootTheDog out of its misery.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Several real-life experiences of characters could have been very interesting but go unmentioned in the story.
** Nancy [=McCoy=] having children with both Johnse Hatfield and Frank Phillips could have provided a look at how the feud is affecting the most recent generations of the families and given her a more conflicted role as TheMole.
** Perry Kline trying to cheat the Hatfields in revenge for both Devil Anse cheating him in the past and Jim Vance killing his foster father (a former slave) could have made him a compelling character instead of a greedy, one-note AmoralAttorney.

That's not favoritism, that was actually the historical outcome for those people.

Example Indentation In Trope Lists. Zero Context Example. No need to say this is YMMV; it's evident.


* {{Narm}}: Randall's [[spoiler: death]].
** YMMV definitely, as it was the end result of his [[spoiler: SanitySlippage]], which was pretty frightening.
* TearJerker: Many moments. Particularly standing out are Johnse's wordless but very emotional farewell at Roseanna's grave and Cottontop when his father dies, not to mention when Cottontop dies himself, as a scapegoat.
