President Andrew Johnson
North Carolina was not a hotbed for secession. But after Fort Sumter North Carolina joined four other Southern states in the Confederacy, they included Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and finally, the very late entrance into the rebellion of North Carolina in May 20, 1861. The people of this state were virtually dragged into the Southern cause.
The question was, how should slaves be counted for the purpose of Congressional representation? The South wanted to count all slaves as "population", because this would increase the number of Representatives from the slave states. The northern states didn't want to include slaves AT ALL; if they weren't fully citizens and couldn't vote, why should they be counted for purposes of representation? The "three fifths" compromise gave southern states some additional Congressional representation, without giving the South an overwhelming advantage.
Assessing whether Jefferson Davis was a "good person" depends on perspective and context. As President of the Confederate States during the American Civil War, he supported slavery and the secession of Southern states, actions that have been widely criticized for their moral implications. While some view him as a figure of Southern pride and a defender of states' rights, his legacy is deeply intertwined with issues of racism and oppression, making it challenging to label him definitively as a good or bad person. Ultimately, interpretations of his character vary significantly based on historical and personal viewpoints.
