I believe it's actually because Tennessee became a state in 1796, but rulers weren't invented until 1797.

Rulers were invented like 3,000 years before that.

It is a funny picture to think of some Tennessee hillbilly surveyor with a 1ft ruler trying to count out the border though.

Surveyor Steven did his best, but his penchant for TN moonshine was well-documented.

There was a bee chasing him the whole time!
