The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, primarily benefited Southern cotton planters and the cotton industry as a whole. By significantly increasing the efficiency of cotton processing, it allowed for greater production and profitability, which in turn reinforced the reliance on slave labor in the South. Additionally, it helped establish cotton as a dominant cash crop in the United States, contributing to economic growth and the expansion of the textile industry in both the U.S. and Europe.

The Southern plantation owners benefited from the cotton gin the most. It used to be a full day's work for a slave to pick one pound of lint from three pounds of cotton, but thanks to the cotton gin, the process sped up considerably. In fact, you could even say that the cotton gin gave people one more reason to support slavery, since the invention made slavery so much more financially beneficial.The cotton gin was important to so many groups because cotton itself was important to so many groups: The South exported cotton to the North and to foreign nations, and the Northerners used it in their textile factories. The surplus of cotton helped spark the industrial revolution.

I have been researching lately, and I am sure it wasn't Eli Whitney. He applied for a 14 year patent and got it. He proposed that for someone to use it, they had to pay 2/5 of their profit in cotton. The farmers were angry at the tax, so they created their own version claiming it was a "new" invention. Eli tried to sue them but couldn't because of a loop-hole in the 1793 patent act. So, i think the farmers benefited the most. For more information go to http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/cotton-gin-patent/ Hope this answers your question.
