Prey America repents.
Declaration.
“Pray America blesses God.” What does that mean?
As usual your bomb hit the target.
“That is exactly what you had in the old South when they said blacks were only three fifths of a man.”
You are obviously lacking knowledge and also biased against the South. It was not the South that created this three fifths equation. It became a part of the Constitution due to the large number of slaves in the South, over one million, compared to about 100k in the North at that time.
At one representative per 30k, the South would have had 33 representatives from this one million slave population compared to the North having just 3 reps from their 100k slave population. The NORTH saw this as a voting disadvantage and insisted on the 3/5th allocation of Southern slaves which reduced the Southern House of Representatives number to 22 compared to 33. The North agreed and accepted this reallocation formula of three fifth’s becoming a part of the Constitution.
The South had this large number of slaves due to it being an AGRICULTURAL economy operating under the English
Mercantilism system. There were several compromises made in the creation of the Constitution as regards slavery in order to get the States to approve the Constitution that created the United States of America.
The Founders of the Constitution and the Country dealt with slavery the best way they could under the circumstances of the time. Tearing down their statutes is just plain terminal case of the dumb-ass.
DEPLORABLE LIVES MATTER!
I knew that it was the reason but did not have the time to explain.
> “Pray America blesses God.” What does that mean?
To bless is to express love.
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Psalm 103:1
