Home by Christmas: The series starts in May of 1862 and almost every character on both sides is convinced that the war will be over a matter of months. In reality, the war still had almost three whole more years to go. | |

Insufferable Genius: Anne Hastings served as nurse in The Crimean War under Florence Nightingale herself, a fact that she will keep reminding you of at every opportunity. Doctor Foster is the best physician at the hospital, but he has a tendency to talk down to colleagues and nurses like they were barely-functioning imbeciles. | |

Kick the Dog: The Union Army seems thoroughly intent on punishing the Green family in every way possible for just the slightest sympathies to the Confederate side. They sink to their lowest in "The Dead Room" when they take control of the cemetery where Tom was supposed to be buried and parade his body like a trophy simply to make an example of him ("This is what happens to traitors!"). | |

Morality Kitchen Sink: The characters all run the gamut of morality, there hardly being any who are all good or all bad. On the one end, you have the compassionate nurse caring for the wounded while on the other you have Silas Bullen, the hospital's corrupt quartermaster and utter villain and the cartoonishly evil Knights of the Golden Circle. | |

Mercy Street / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: Mary's illness in season 2 was written into the plot to accommodate Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who had to film a role in the third season of Fargo around the same time. Sadly, Winstead's commitments ended up being at least part of the reason why the series ultimately ended after two seasons. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality: Nobody in this series is portrayed as being entirely in the right morally, but while on the one side you have the Union authorities being very callous and abusive towards Confederate sympathizers, on the other you have the Confederacy that fights for the preservation of slavery, and is represented on screen by an unquestionably evil secret society dedicated to the continuation and expansion of slavery and is willing to blow up a hospital to assassinate one man. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: In the first episode, Nurse Mary is called out by both Emma and Dr. Foster for her clear neglect of the Confederate soldiers, both pointing out that regardless of her opinions of them or the crimes they may have committed, they're still her patients. In "Unknown Soldier", when Belinda abandons the Greens following a major blowup and argument, she calls them on their tendency to get into trouble by themselves despite all her best efforts to keep them out of it. | |

Mercy Street / int_e16217f8 | comment |
Historical Villain Upgrade: The historical Frank Stringfellow was indeed a Confederate spy in Alexandria who posed as a dentist's assistant. However, he didn’t go around murdering people left and right in the course of his spying. The Knights of the Golden Circle were every bit as loathsome as the show portrays them, but there's no evidence that they ever attempted to blow up a hospital with hundreds of people in it just to try to assassinate Lincoln. | |

Mercy Street / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Some of the historical characters get additional attributes borrowed from other historical figures of the period: Mary Phinney is a close approximation of the real Baroness Von Olnhausen, but gets her personality, New England roots and abolitionist and feminist views from Louisa May Alcott, who was also a nurse during the Civil War. The real Emma Green never volunteered at Mansion House Hospital and her personality is drawn from the accounts written by other Confederate nurses. | |
