%%** Almost ''everyone'' in this series gets Woobified at one point or another. Especially the historical characters, but oddly enough, [[UsefulNotes/MarquisDeLafayette Lafayette]] escapes this, as none of the numerous tragic events of his real-life counterpart's life are brought up, with the worst thing that happens to him being getting shot in the leg during his first battle.

* GeniusBonus: Crossed with RewatchBonus. The show has a lot to cover, and not a lot of time to do it; some concepts are only referenced in passing without further explanation. For example, in "The Green Mountain Boys," Ethan Allen quotes John Locke's "life, liberty, and property" to James. Locke's philosophy would heavily shape the American approach to government, but he usually isn't even introduced to US history students until high school, if at all. The show is a lot of fun to watch again as an adult with a more thorough understanding of US history.

*** Oddly enough, Lafayette escapes this, as nothing about his backstory is brought up. His father was killed in the French and Indian war when Laf was a baby, his mother died when he was 12 (which is one reason he bonded with fellow orphan immigrant Alexander Hamilton), and he never met one of his daughters, as she had not been born when he left France and died in infancy well before he could get back. Additionally, one of his best friends is killed in action the year after Yorktown while working on an anti-slavery project, and Lafayette himself eventually ends up getting driven out of France by the very people he tries to help, and spends seven years in prison in Austria. Yet the most trouble we hear about or see is his getting shot in the leg during his first battle.

* NightmareFuel: The series isn't afraid to show the results of conflict or implying death by other means, even if obviously cleaned up enough to be viewable by children. The TarAndFeathers portion is probably one of the darkest moments in the entire series.
