US Civil War Battles in Mexico?


In Part 1 of Book 2, they have the Battle of Bull Run. As the Northern soldiers retreat, they cross a bridge. It's the same bridge that was used in an earlier episode where George and Orry fight in Mexico. When I see that scene, it looks like the Battle of Bull Run takes place in Mexico.

Often times, sets are reused. Locations as well. For instance, watch Batman Begins and The Remains of the Day. Both were filmed in the same house.

Yeah, I was trying to be funny. They used the same bridge for several things.

I would have probably noticed the humor if I were fully paying attention.

It was a bit of a stretch for a joke. I think I've made a few on here that have been like that. I think it was already expensive enough to make a mini-series, especially one that had as many different sets and costumes that this one had.
