    It was, in fact, a concession by the slaveholding south to anti-slavery opinion. One can always debate the merits of compromises, but counting slaves as full citizens for apportionment purposes, when they had no legal rights, would have been much worse.https://twitter.com/natalie_allison/status/1389603810142789632 …

    Now on the Tennessee House floor, Rep. Justin Lafferty is yelling about how the three-fifths compromise was good. Republicans applaud. Members of the black caucus are huddling in groups.

        It is so weird that the modern take is that counting them as full citizens (thus giving the slaves states more power in Congress) is preferable to not counting them at all (which is what the non-slave-states wanted). Understandable, but irrational.

        I’ve seen plenty of people say that it means the Framers actually thought slaves were only 3/5 of a white person.

        It was NOT a concession to antislavery opinion in the South. Indeed, it almost wrecked ratification in the South. It was a southern white political concession to northern whites in order to gain ratification.

        Yes, a concession to anti-slavery delegates from the North.

        Please. They get free representation for non-voters. Its about giving the South a leg up.

        Man, you just will not stop until you die on every racist republican hill they out out for you. The 3/5s compromise was terrible not just for counting humans as 3/5s of a person, but because politically, the South could've been a powerhouse if they let slaves be counted.

        In other words, you're defending Southerners for being racist idiots as some sort of god-tier compromise that should be gold standard for learning about Realpolitik

        You mean the money that white southerners made siphoned off of enslaved black people?
