[ Maybe the Democrat’s will classify them as 3/5th of a person. ]

The ironic thing is that if the south did count black slaves as 1:1 for matters of distributing representatives the House they would have steamrolled over the North and Slavery would have been legalized.

I really loathe how the Libs misinterpret how the 3/5 compromise was pro-slavery when it was actually the closest position to anti-slavery the north could have taken at the time.

Fredrick Douglas has written about the 3/5th thing and his say in the matter is very enlightening.
