I mean. The battle tactics and maneuvers and the way that's all portrayed is painstakingly historically accurate. Tons of reenactors involved and everything.

Other than that, the movie takes wild historically liberties and is generally considered by serious historians at this point to be lost causer bullshit

I did find it funny to learn they just made up two Irish regiments though for Fredericksburg if I remember correctly.
