3/5th compromise Val
<------ James Wilson
To be fair, only 3 out of 5 slaves will count towards the staets population!
For the constitution compromise, the south wanted their slaves to count toward the states population so they would have more representation.
The north feared that if this happened it would give the south too much power in the house of representatives, and also believed they paid more in taxes.
The north and south worked out a compromise where ever 3 out of 5 slaves counted toward a states population (the 3/5th compromise).
