Benjamin Bradly was a slave inventor.
Great story actually. Used the little money he was aloud to keep to invent a big steam engine and he bought his freedom.
As i recall there were a few slave inventors... often to make their harsh conditions less harsh... but occasionally other reasons.
Some inventors and scientists love their work so much they actually would do it for free. There is just also a lot of really smart people who don't love what they do... but do it because they're great at it and know it pays.
