Anachronistic.
Movie tried to portray the 1840s and 1860s at the exact same time.
Bill the Butcher was dead in 1855.

It's a movie created for entertainment, not a documentary created for educational purposes. At least they stayed closer to factual based people and events than most movies that claim such things... Ur statement is by no means incorrect, it's just that no movie is completely factual.
