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

The truth is that the founders from the northern colonies who opposed Slavery, insisted on counting the slaves as less than “full persons.” The reason for the insistence, is to prevent the slave states from getting too many congressman and electoral votes as to dominate the government and prevent Slavery from ever being abolished. It was still anti-slave and anti-slaveholder, as it limited the power of slaveholding states, based, well, on slavery. I have argued that point countless times, all to no avail. I once considered it my civic duty to inform/debate lefty imbeciles - but I no longer attempt it. Imbeciles are impervious to persuasion! Facts/reason/logic/and even THOUGHT, does not ever work for these fools. Pray for the future of the United Sates of America - Team Trump = MAGA!

Actually it gave slaveholding states a disproportionately high level of representation. Slaves were considered property and not people, so they had no need for Congressional representation. Yet they were counted as 3/5ths when proportioning congressmen.
