It allowed the slave states to count most of it's slaves in order to have more representation by population. The non-slave states discouraged slavery and put in the 3/5ths clause because of it. It was not meant to mean a slave was only 3/5ths of a man as some would have you believe.

What is the great compromise and what did it do?
Delegate Roger Sherman introduced the Great Compromise to resolve a dispute between larger (higher population) states and smaller states to ensure fair representation in Congress by reconciling plans originating in Virginia and New Jersey. Sherman's compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, combined ideas of the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan at the Constitutional Convention. This Compromise created a bicameral (two house) legislature that had a lower house with representation based on population, to be calculated by census count every ten years (Virginia Plan), and an upper house based on equal representation of two Senators each, without respect to population (New Jersey Plan). The Upper House later became known as the US Senate, and the Lower House, the US House of Representatives. The agreement also provided that all bills regarding taxes be initiated in the Lower House. Apportionment by population protected the citizens' interests; equal representation preserved the balance of power between states. The Great Compromised passed after eleven days of deliberation, but didn't completely satisfy the southern states, whose population consisted largely of slaves who weren't considered citizens. This issue was addressed by the Three-Fifths Compromise, which allowed the census to count each slave as three-fifths of a person for the purpose of apportionment of Representatives in the House.

How were the slaves treated in the US?
Slaves were not granted liberty in the U.S. Constitution. In fact, parts of the Constitution solidified their less-than-free position. The Constitution strengthened the power of slave states in several important respects. Through the Fugitive Clause, for example, governments of free states were required to help recapture runaway slaves who had escaped their masters' states. Equally disturbing was the three-fifths compromise, established for determining representation in the lower house of the legislature. Slave states wanted to have additional political power based on the number of human beings that they held as slaves. Delegates from free states wouldn't allow such a blatant manipulation of political principles, but the inhumane compromise that resulted meant counting enslaved persons as three-fifths of a free person for the sake of calculating the number of people a state could elect to the House of Representatives. The Constitution also allowed slaves to be imported into the United States until 1808.
