Factual error: As the 7 are coming into the camp, it shows an American Flag flying all 50 stars. In 1879 there were only 38 stars on the flag.

Suggested correction: It's a 37-star flag, the top and bottom row have 8 stars and the middle 3 rows have 7 stars. While Colorado was admitted into the Union in 1877 as the 38th state, it's not unreasonable to think they just didn't get an updated flag. However, it's also possible whoever was in charge of getting/making the flag got it mixed up since the 38-star flag has 7 stars on the top and bottom row and 8 stars in the middle 3 rows.
37 stars is correct, 8 on top and bottom and seven in the 3 middle rows.
Actually, it has 40 stars: five rows of eight. There was never a 37-star flag.
There absolutely was a 37 star flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States, used for 10 years from July 4, 1867 to July 3, 1877.

Sam Chisolm: So you seek revenge?
Widow: I seek righteousness. But I'll take revenge.
Trivia: The horse that Chris Pratt rides in this film is one of the horses used in War Horse (2011).
