Trivia
- Lincoln's exasperated response to General Ulysses Grant's letter regarding Superman and saying "Has Grant been drinking?" is a reference to Grant's perceived alcoholism that was greatly exaggerated by his detractors.
- Frederick Douglass mentions the Siege of Port Hudson and Battle of Milliken's Bend. Black Union soldiers participated in these battles, a fact which influenced their military recognition.
- At Ford's Theatre, Superman and Lincoln attended a performance of William Shakespeare's As You Like It, while historically the performance was Our American Cousin.
- Atticus' new frontier attire and his silver horse is an implied reference that he becomes this world's Lone Ranger, the heroic former Texas Ranger.
