[Harmless Teddy Bear]

a national popular vote would have "disadvantaged" Southern slave states, where blacks could not vote but were counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of a population count.

First off, no it would have advantaged them. And second blacks could indeed vote. SLAVES of whatever color could not vote.

So having established that you do not know anything about the subject I thing I will not bother to read anything else of M&M's ignorant screed.

Three-fifths was to their advantage in that it limited their slave masters representation in congress. That never gets brought up....
