they're legislaters
The three-fifths clause provided for counting three-fifths of all slaves for purposes of representation in Congress.
The debate between the North and the South over counting slave populations primarily revolved around representation and taxation. Southern states wanted slaves counted as part of their population to increase their representation in Congress, while Northern states opposed this, arguing that slaves were not citizens and should not be counted for representation. This culminated in the Three-Fifths Compromise, where each slave was counted as three-fifths of a person for both representation and taxation purposes, reflecting the South's desire for political power while acknowledging the moral and political complexities of slavery.
The Fugitive Slave Act and the debate over slave issues created a problem, while the bitterness of the annexation of Texas and the resulting Mexican War still played a part in the problem.
the south were very complex in their organizing
William Paterson believed that counting slaves as part of the population would give more political power to states with larger slave populations, potentially increasing their representation in government. He opposed such a practice and advocated for counting slaves as three-fifths of a person in determining representation in Congress, as outlined in the Three-Fifths Compromise during the Constitutional Convention.
yes
They agreed with the south who owed slaves
This caused a debate since at the time, America had a balanced amount of slave states and free states. If Missouri was admitted into a slave state, it would tip the balance. Thus, Henry Clay developed the Missouri Compromise, Allowing Maine as a free state+ Missouri as slave, keeeping the balance in check.
They were counted as three-fifths of a person
No connection between the two. The three fifths addressed the slave population count in relationship to counting the population to determine the number of elected representatives in the house. The smaller states were afraid that the larger slave holding southern states would use their slave populations to control the legislative process in the house. Taxes were addressed in the 16th amendment by allowing congress to levy an income tax.
