Description
I was watching old cartoons and started wondering where the watermelon stereotype even came from.
After the Civil War, freed people started getting rich off watermelon farms. The stereotype came after that.
That's what I built MERCY around. Old war vets, their land, and the folks who came to take it. They wasn't having it.
