" Yes, lets just stop spinning it, the 3/5ths Compromise, so ignorantly attributed to racist southerners and demagogued to infinity, was a compromise insisted upon by northern interests, who did not want slaves counted as fully human in order to prevent Congressional reapportionment from shifting political power to the south. "
And why was the North so afraid to grant slaves as 100% human instead of the 3/5ths of a man compromise ?
Yeah MSM ! YEAH LIBERALS ! YEAH AL SHARPTON ! why was the North so afraid ? could it be ? that the North was afraid to give up it's power ? .... these some how inconvenient facts get's lost on the ignorant liberals and the MSM.
