Sure...as gerrymandering.
Libs who complain about the 3/5 Compromise often are ignorant of the fact that it was Northerners who proposed it - since blacks counted as people on par with whites would give the South some level of parity with the North.
I wish i had a time machine so could send these schmucks back in time to convince the constitution convention to count slaves as a full person when aportioning seats in the house then return to current times to sbow them what a worse mess they made of history as they may very well still be slaves.
“Libs who complain about the 3/5 Compromise often are ignorant of the fact that it was Northerners who proposed it - since blacks counted as people on par with whites would give the South some level of parity with the North.”
More “slave state” and “free state” than just N vs S. One goal of the Constitution was to put an end to slavery, which was mostly legacy British. Limiting Southern political power was part of the plan, as was setting a goal of 100 years so that estate ownership might age-out.
Most people, blacks especially, fail to see how 3/5 benefited blacks.
