Line 7:
 
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Gustave Doré's illustrated Bible is shown, but Doré was only 9 in 1841 and his Bible wouldn't be published until 1866.
* [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign]]: All the crewmen in the ''Tecora'' (a Portuguese ship) speak Spanish with thick Mexican accents.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Adams win the case and Cinque and the other Africans are freed and return to Africa. The ending texts reveals Cinque's family were carried off into slavery and the civil war that the Americans were dreading the case would lead to finally consumed them.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: [[John Quincy Adams]].
* [[Closeup Onon Head]]: The close up of the African leader [[Chewing the Scenery|dramatically shouting]] "[[You No Take Candle|Give us! Us Free!]]" is suitably dramatic and emotional... until the camera zooms out to show the whole courtroom, showing how silly it looked to the people present in the room with him.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Presidential candidates did not campaign in 1840.
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: The slaves raise up and kill the slavers (man, the name of that article leads to really [[Unfortunate Implications]]).
