Were you aware that when it came to counting slaves for the purpose of apportionment for tax determination the south didn’t want to count them at all?

I was not aware of any apportionment from the census except for determining the number of Representatives in Congress, but I'm willing to learn. Do you have a source I can reference?

Sometimes for a quick~n~dirty confirmation I’ll use wackypedia but I’m sure you would like something a bit more credible than them ;’)

Here’s one brief source:

And here is a better one:
