Ratcliffe: IMO the worst inaccuracy of all for this film
What's he doing still alive when Pocahontas journeys to England in 1613? In real life, in 1609, shortly after John Smith was taken back to England (from injuring himself in a gunpowder explosion, not from heroically shielding Powhatan from Ratcliffe's shot, which never happened, just like there never was a love affair between Smith and Pocahontas), Ratcliffe was killed in an ambush from the Powhatan Indians. The following section (the details of how exactly he was killed) is rather graphic:
<NIGHTMARE FUEL BEGINS HERE, SOME MIGHT WANT TO SKIP>
Ratcliffe (who in real life was as corrupt, greedy and despicable as in the Disney films, and John Smith was no better except that the latter made better decisions) led an expedition of 50 armed men to forcibly bargain with Powhatan for food, even capturing Powhatan's son and daughter in order to achieve their goal. A fight broke out after Ratcliffe insulted Powhatan, and in the end all but 16 of the colonists were killed, and Ratcliffe was tied naked onto a tree either with his feet in the fire, or near a fire, I've read both, while the Powhatan women used mussel or oyster shells to slowly scrape his skin off, and threw the scraped off bits into the fire, also taking out his organs and throwing them into the fire, all while he was still alive.
<END OF NIGHTMARE FUEL>
But in the Disney universe, apparently Ratcliffe is the main villain who leads the British Royal Armada to once again attack Virginia so he can get the gold he is craving for, and it ends with him being arrested when King James realizes his treachery, all while in real life he had been dead for several years at that point.
