Yes, Pierce Butler, a delegate from South Carolina, supported the three-fifths compromise during the Constitutional Convention in 1787. This compromise allowed states to count three-fifths of their enslaved population for representation and taxation purposes. Butler believed that this arrangement would benefit Southern states by increasing their political power in Congress. His support reflected the broader interests of Southern delegates in maintaining their influence while addressing the contentious issue of slavery.
