Did h.a Jackson invent the kitchen table?

Answer 1

No. On October 6, 1896 Henry A. Jackson, an African American cabinetmaker, was granted Patent #569135 by the U.S. Patent Office for his unique design for a kitchen table adapted for use in small rooms. It had pull-out shelves and cutting boards, which slid back into the table when not in use, and had storage underneath. Some have misrepresented his patent as "inventing the kitchen table", which is not a claim he made. However, his unique, compact table design was certainly "inventive" in 1896.

Answer 2

He didn´t invet it, he just patented it.
