"The three fifths compromise was a compromise between south and north. They were deciding on how much a slave should be worth. South didn't want it to count as any and north did. So the government decided to make them worth three-fifths."
This answer is completely backwards. Abolitionists wanted slaves counted as zero for apportionment. No one ever said they were only 3/5 of a person. The South, not the North, wanted to count ALL their slaves because they would get a disproportionate amount of congressional representatives to their favor, which would allow slavery to continue unhindered.
Another argument was to force the South to acknowledge slaves as people if they wanted them counted, so if they were people, how could they continue to own them as slaves?
