Of course it was political. 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?
