No, he did not. There were Guitars in Europe long before there were African Americans or any other kind of Americans.

He got a patent for some things he says will improve the tone. #45 of the patent abstract states, "The body of my improved instrument is made of substantially the same shape as an ordinary guitar..." I goes on to say it has parchment or vellum heads instead of wooden heads among other things.

So, he didn't invent the guitar, he just made some changes that are not seen in modern guitars. How many guitars do you see with parchment heads???

Why did Robert Flemming Jr invent the guitar?

Oh, dude, Robert Flemming Jr didn't invent the guitar, that credit goes way back to ancient civilizations. He did, however, invent the first electric guitar pickup in 1934, which was a pretty big deal for musicians wanting to rock out louder. So, yeah, he didn't invent the guitar itself, but he definitely played a key role in making it sound electrifying.
