Factual error: Early in the film following Lincoln's assassination, we see a newspaper stating that Lincoln's body is being transported to his final resting place of "Springfield IL". At that time the state either wouldn't have been shortened, or "Ill." would have been used. The two letter state name abbreviations were not introduced until the 1960s, at the same time as ZIP codes.
Factual error: In the beginning of the trial, they show the Military fort where the trial took place, Ft Jefferson as just outside the capital in Washington. It is, in fact, west of the Florida keys on a rocky outcrop now referred to as Dry Tortugas National Park, and was very difficult to get to by ship.
