The three-fifths compromise was necessary in order to gain the support of both the Northern and Southern states for how slaves would be counted for the purpose of apportioning representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Taxation was also affected by this apportionment but the main issue was representation. If slaves were counted as a whole person, the South would have a larger representation; if slaves didn't count at all, the North would have a larger representation. So to satisfy each side, the Constitution stated that slaves would be counted as 3/5ths of a person; a compromise between the two extremes.
