Slaves were indeed the property of their owners, had no civil rights whatsoever, and were only counted as 3/5 of a person for census purposes, according to the 3/5 Compromise. Many of the founding fathers opposed slavery, and in his original version of the Constitution Thomas Jefferson condemned it and wanted it outlawed, but that was taken out of the constitution in order to appease southern plantation owners. Slavery wasn't abolished until after the Civil War, but even then it wasn't until the Civil Rights movement of the 60's that African Americans truly had the same legal rights as Caucasian American citizens.
Slavery went on in North America for approximately 500 years, and its affects still have an impact on racial tension and inequality in today's society.
