* The "give me liberty or give me death" speech was a RealLife one for Patrick Henry, but the passion with which Michael Douglas plays it makes it one for him as well.

* The fact that this show introduced the idea that slavery didn't know race in Revolutionary times. In Henri's backstory, he gets enslaved on a ship after the deaths of his parents on the trip to America to pay off his parents' debt to the captain until Moses and James rescued him. Then in the Nathan Hale episode, James gets kidnapped by some British soldiers planning on forcing him into serving the British Navy; he's only saved when Sarah claims she and James are engaged to each other, and James planning to willingly join the Navy in a few years.

* Thomas Paine gets one that makes him a BadassBookworm. Philadelphia is suffering from riots, and Ben Franklin's printing press got damaged. Thomas, Moses, and the kids need to go to another shop. When rabble-rousers attack them, Thomas goes LetsGetDangerous. He picks up a brick, screams at the top of his lungs, and chases them away. The next day Henri advises him to keep that brick.

* John Paul Jones helps Sarah come to terms with the trauma of Cornstalk and his son's unlawful execution. With sympathy, honesty, and mercy, he tells her that the world has horrors in it. We can't control that, but you can control what choice to make. This leads to Sarah's TakeAThirdOption; she frees the British prisoners so they don't drown in the sinking ship, but when John Paul Jones reminds her of their talk, she realizes that she is for liberty, and orders the men to help stop the flooding.

* The American "skinners" who succeed in smoking out Benedict Arnold's treachery to the Americans in their capture of Major John Andre. The Major had mistaken one of them for a Hessian due to his green uniform, which he stole while fleeing British custody, which is awesome by itself. The soldiers quickly discover Arnold's plans to weaken the American fortifications at West Point, which Washington had given him command of. Washington's intelligence chief immediately seizes control of the situation by ordering Andre held as a spy and to inform Washington of Arnold's deceit, suspecting him as the true mastermind of the unfolding plot. Arnold is forced to flee and unfortunately escapes capture when word of this gets out to him, but upon receiving the news the enraged General Washington wastes no time in rallying his troops to immediately rally and fortify West Point, forcing the British to abandon their planned attack.
