This was the worst video you left out so much information you didn’t even touch the fact that he was a major contributor to the HVAC heating and air condition system. This video is bullshit.

My be Swan would have had words to say, as to inventing light bulbs and Edison did not argue with him in this. Swan had already put the bulbs into first house in World. Facts not fiction please

So Mr. Latimer would been employed at the very office that would refuse to accept Ben Montgomery's application for patent on his steamboat propeller design on the basis that it was against Federal law for a slave hold patent rights.

Who is Ben Montgomery? He was the general manager of one of Jefferson Davis' largest plantations. Jefferson had paid for Mr. Montgomery's education in drafting, design and mechanical engineering. Mr. Montgomery's propeller design would eventually prove to be a revolutionary step forward for nautical propulsion. After being denied patent, on the basis he was a slave, by the U.S. (union) patent office, prior to the civil war, but after the south's succession, Jefferson Davis would go on to draft, propose, lobby, and see signed into law, a bill, in the newly formed Confederate Congress, that would allow slaves to hold patents.

That's right, Ben Montgomery's, "owner," did that after the U.S. patent office wouldn't even allow him to apply for patent consideration. Then after the Civil War, when Mr. Montgomery would have been declared as a, "free man," by the union U.S. govt, the U.S. patent office would again deny his application citing the law prohibiting slave patent holders as being still technically in place. So while the govt shouts self ritcheous praises about its own imagined moral victory over southern evil, they would simultaneously uphold the oppressive practices they so publicly admonish, based upon "technicalities" of law.

Virtually everything you've ever been taught about the American civil war is, at best, missing detail, and most often flat out untrue. That war was a about control of wealth, period.

To be clear - the practice of slavery is abhorrent. The truth about the antebellum period and the events surrounding the civil war however, have been grossly misrepresented.

I hope you get 10000 subs
