It was still anti-slave and anti-slaveholder, as it limited the power of slaveholding states, based, well, on slavery.

On the surface it looks that way. And haters insist on hating. But its absolutely TRUE reason was to tamp down the population figures, which translate into Electoral Votes, and would empower slave states to always REMAIN that way.
