Line 117:
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: Adams, "obnoxious and disliked"
* [[Place Worse Than Death]]: John Adams: "At a time in life when other men prosper, I am reduced to living in Philadelphia!"
* [[Politically-Correct History]]: See [[Executive Meddling]] on the [[1776 (musical)/Trivia|Trivia page]]; even so, the film is a remarkable paragon of historical accuracy and thus counts as an aversion.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Lee uses his name in place of "-ly" extensive-Lee.
* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: In the [[DVD Commentary]] recorded many, many years later, the play's writer revealed that he originally intended Adams to note that if they leave in the slavery clause war would break out in about a century, in yet another example of lifting dialogue directly from the founders' writings. He used only the second half of the quote, "posterity will never forgive us," because he was afraid people would think it was him speaking in hindsight, rather than an ''actual historic observation'' by Adams.
