Fun fact in Scooby Doo canon
>Scooby saved a confederate vet from drowning
>Scooby's great grandpa was a war hero for the confederates, meaning Scooby's great grandpa fought to preserve slavery
>Shaggy's Uncle willed Shaggy a plantation and was also a confederate Col. Meaning Shaggy's Uncle 100% owned blacks as slaves
