Behind the scenes
- Backtime has its history a bit wrong. In reality, Grant was actually in the west, running the Union forces at the Battle of Vicksburg at the time that Gettysburg was being fought. Furthermore, the character within the short bears little resemblance to the historical figure.
- However, it should be noted that as these stories are not depicting the real world, it can be assumed that the DWU simply has a different version of history to ours.
