Line 90:
* [[Grammar Nazi]]: John Adams. It's "''un''alienable," not "''in''alienable" -- but he'll speak about it with the printer later. Funny thing is, he did! Unalienable is the [http://www.ushistory.org/DECLARATION/unalienable.htm word used on the declaration].
* [[Happily Married]]: John and Abigail Adams, Thomas and Martha Jefferson. Both of them, incidentally, are [[Truth in Television]]; the Adamses in particular were quite happily married for ''fifty-four years.'' Sadly, despite how much in love they were, Jefferson and his wife didn't have nearly as much time together, as Martha died tragically young. (The Martha Jefferson listed as Jefferson's First Lady is actually his daughter.)
* [[Hate Sink]]: John Dickinson, who isn't at all evil, but takes point for the anti-Independence side.
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: With the exception of the courier and MacNair's assistant -- called only "Leather Apron" -- every single person who appears in the Congressional chambers, speaking role or not, is a historically documented personage. Yes, even Thomson and MacNair were real people.
* [[Hollywood Night]]: Both averted and not. The "Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve" number is clearly shot at night in front of the Independence Hall facade, but the later duet where John and Abigail walk across their farm at "night" is obviously a blue-filtered daytime shot. Then again, it ''is'' an [[Distant Duet|imaginary/dream sequence]], and the filter use may have been an intentional stylistic decision to emphasize that.
