The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise between Southern and Northern states that was reached during the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 in which three-fifths of the enumerated population of slaves would be counted for representation purposes regarding both the distribution of taxes and the apportionment of the members of the United States House of Representatives.
This agreement was made in the original US Constitution, and is generally referred to as "The Great Compromise." The North didn't think that slaves should be counted at all, and the South thought that each slave should be counted as a full person. The reason for the argument was that representation in the house of representatives was based on population and each side wanted to be the majority.
Slaves were counted as three-fifth's of a single person.
A person who sells slaves is normally called a 'slave trader', or 'slave broker'.
Because slaves were not considered to be of 'equal' value, it was to be agreed upon that they would be counted as 1/2 a person. for example, 2 slaves = 1 person 4 slaves = 2 people 6 slaves = 3 people
