“Since the writing of the constitution the south was worried about slaves having full rights. Look at how they were only counted as a fraction from the beginning.”
Actually, the South WANTED slaves to be fully counted because by doing so this would give the South more representatives in the House.
The number of House representatives is based on the population of a state, and the South had many slaves and wanted the slaves to be counted as full persons so they would then be added to the total population count and generate more House representatives, thereby giving the slave-holding states more power.
The North wanted to limit the influence of the southern slave-holding states and not count fully the slave population, hence the 3/5th compromise.
yeah, they just didn’t want them to vote.
