The errors began getting attention after TikTok user @issatete posted a video showing the mistakes and comparing the misidentified people to historical photos. It had nearly 800,000 views by Thursday night after it was posted on Tuesday.

In a follow-up video, she shared that she is a U.S. history teacher and that she did not want the errors to go unnoticed.
