4.) showing "men of color" fighting for the South.
I'd hardly call that cliche. Ride With The Devil is the only movie I can think of off the top of my head which shows them fighting for the South. But, then again, RWTD is one of my favorite movies, so I feel obliged to come to its defense even though you're not really attacking the movie itself.
I liked Cold Mountain too. Moreso for its beauty than the plausibility of the story. But, I'm very forgiving of movies. There are so few movies that I find interesting made these days that I tend to be quite forgiving. I'd much rather see Cold Mountain than Mr. & Mrs. Smith or The Saw.
