Eli Whitney and his business partner, Phineas Miller, after problems with Georgia farmers making their own versions of the cotton gin, they sold their patent rights to the state of South Carolina in 1802. They also offered the patent rights to North Carolina and Tennessee, but South Carolina was the only state to pay Eli Whitney for the rights. Even then, South Carolina delayed paying the fee.
