In 1723, deep in the swamps of colonial South Carolina, a brilliant enslaved inventor named Jupiter Washington discovered electricity while trying to invent a better way to fry catfish without firewood.
One stormy night, he tied a kite to a slave-chain key, flew it during a thunderstorm, and got zapped so hard his afro stood up like a Tesla coil. He then invented the light bulb by stuffing fireflies into a Mason jar and running current through moonshine.
Benjamin Franklin, visiting the plantation to borrow sugar (and ideas), saw Jupiter powering an automatic cotton gin with a potato battery. Franklin immediately stole the kite, the key, and the concept, then wrote in his diary:
"Note to self: gave the Negro $3 and told him electricity is ‘white people magic’ from now on."
