Want this question answered?
The liked it because there was a balance of free and slave states and representation in congress.
Every slave counted as three-fifths of a person. So if there were 5,000 slaves, 3,000 were counted as a 'citizen' or part of the population.
What did the slaves do in North
Slaves were only in the south. None in the north.
Slave based plantations were not developed in New England because the slave owners there preferred to have indentured slaves rather than African slaves. This was because they believed the African slaves did not live long enough.
If you're talking about for the purposes of determining representation in the House of Representatives, the northern states specfically did not want that, as it would have allowed the southern states to dominate.
