agreeing not to end the slave trade for at least 20 years
The northern states sacrifice to postpone a vote on ending the slave trade gained the southern states to aggree on the three-fiths compromise.
After 1854, the Missouri Compromise, which was the attempt to balance the number of free states and slave states between the Northern and Southern states of the United States, was relinquished and replaced by the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
The purpose of the Three-Fifths Compromise was so Northern and Southern states would accept the US Constitution. This is because Southern states wanted slaves to be counted towards their population so they would have more power in the House of Representatives, while Northern states did not want this. The Three-Fifths Compromise was basically meant to be a sort of compromise for each side, where three-fifths of the slave population would be counted, hence the name.
The Slave Trade Compromise, part of the U.S. Constitution, allowed the importation of enslaved people to continue until 1808, after which Congress could prohibit it. Additionally, it stipulated that enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person for purposes of taxation and representation in Congress. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of Southern states, which relied on slave labor, with those of Northern states, which were increasingly opposed to the practice.

bc the southern states' economies needed the slave trade, and many southern delegates said they'd leave the Union if the constitution immediately ended the trade. =D
The North were free states and the South were slave states.
By adding in Maine as a free state and adding in Missouri as a slave state to balance power between slave states(mostly southern) and free states(mostly northern)
