It was part of our Constitution until amended.
The southern states wanted to count the slaves as population for representation. The northern states did'nt want the slaves to count if they had no rights as citizens. They thought this would give the South an unfair advantage in votes taken in the House of Representatives. Finally the two sides reached a compromise. The slaves would count as 3/5 of a person for representation to the House of Representatives

The US Constitution (before the Civil War) let states count slaves as 3/5 person when computing electoral votes.
