Black people today and in the past count as the whole person they are. The claim that they were worth 3/5 of a white person is not true. The Constitution counted them as 3/5 toward representation, which was a compromise between those who didn't want them represented and those who thought they should count fully.

What relation would your grandson be to your nephew?

One opinion:second cousinAnother opinion:They would be first cousins once removed.Explanation:You first need to find a common ancestor. That would be your father. Now count down from the common ancestor. People on generation 1 would be siblings (you and your brothers and sisters). People on generation 2 would be first cousins. People on generation 3 would be second cousins, and so on.In this case, the people in question are in different generations. So you count down until you find the first person in question, which would be your nephew. Your nephew and your son are first cousins. For each generation further you have to count down to find the second person, you add a "removed." So your grandson is your nephew's first cousin once removed. To carry this on, your great-grandson would be your nephew's first cousin twice removed.It's easier to understand if you draw this out on paper.

What did people in the middle ages do when people got sick with the black death?

If the person who was sick was still alive, then i imagine they would pray for them and perhaps try some of the doctor's remedies, but if they died, which was a lot of the time, then the body would be taken away on a cart and put into a mass grave. If you are the person who asked about clothing at the time of the Black death, I was the one who answered that too!
