* RomanticPlotTumor: There are many fans who really resent the amount of time that the show devotes to Abe and Anna's romance, especially since it's ''entirely made up out of whole cloth.''
** Really, Abe Woodhull's complicated love life in the show sticks out like a sore thumb, considering he A.) didn't marry Mary until 1781, so that entire complication is not real and B.) there is little to no historical evidence that Anna Strong was ever unfaithful to her husband Selah.

* FanPreferredCouple: Not to mention the pairing of Anna/Hewlett being far more popular in fan works than either Abraham/Anna or Selah/Anna, despite that pushed for love triangle and [[spoiler: Anna canonically ending up back with Selah in the end.]] Presumably because of the Abraham/Anna relationship being seen as a RomanticPlotTumor, and Selah and his relationship with Anna getting very little development until the very end of the series.

That is not what a Fan Preferred Couple is. Its for non-canon ships which are more popular than a character's canon relationship. Not a completely unrelated triangle.

** The show pushes the love triangle of Abraham/Anna vs Abraham/Mary ''hard'', though the most popular pairing by far is [[HoYay Benjamin/Caleb]].

NOT YMMV.


* ArtisticLicenseHistory: There are plenty of fudgings here and there of the historical record, ostensibly done in the name of increasing drama. [[spoiler: Namely, the death of Nathaniel Sackett, despite the fact that the real Sackett didn't die until ''1806'' in real life.]] However, the [[spoiler: defection of Benedict Arnold and the execution of John Andre is played almost entirely straight, with only one or two embellishments; such as Rogers colluding in Andre's capture.]]

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: At one point, Townsend comes face to face with Caleb, who roughed up his father earlier in the story as part of a plan to get Townsend to join the Ring. Caleb's apologetic, and offers to let Townsend hit him; 'eye for an eye'. Just as Abe reminds him Townsend's a Quaker and opposed to violence, Townsend ''punches Caleb right in the nose.'' And has a 'did I just do that?' look right afterwards.
