Peter Cooper was an inventor, manufacturer, and philanthropist from New York City who built the Tom Thumb locomotive and founded The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City. The Tom Thumb was the first American-built steam locomotive to be operated on a common-carrier railroad. And did you know that in 1845, inventor Peter Cooper obtained the first patent for a gelatin dessert aka Jello?

To discuss true inventors and people who are actually granted patents in the same context is a lie—This is only attainable in our new america where the lawyers are princes, and their judgees are kings—a system unlike the one our forefathers developed—Clout is fraud and dishonesty at its most criminal level which runs rampant in our; city, county, state, and even at the federal level and verdicts can be had for cash and other favours—about to be brought down[within the next few decades, approx.] by our future generations who will join forces thru the empiracle matrix and telephone communication ( Internet )
