The northern states were smaller states so they were out numbered by the south where the most,political power was located. The idea to count the slaves was a compromise so that other things could get done. Often people have to compromise to get something they want and this is what happened.

How did the northern states feel about Abraham Lincoln?

The northern states largely supported Abraham Lincoln, viewing him as a strong leader committed to preserving the Union during the Civil War. Many appreciated his stance against the expansion of slavery and his efforts to promote equality, especially after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. However, his policies faced criticism from some factions, including radical abolitionists who felt he was too moderate, and Democrats who opposed his war measures. Overall, Lincoln's leadership was pivotal in shaping northern sentiments during the tumultuous period.

How did William Paterson feel about counting slaves as part of the population?

William Paterson believed that counting slaves as part of the population would give more political power to states with larger slave populations, potentially increasing their representation in government. He opposed such a practice and advocated for counting slaves as three-fifths of a person in determining representation in Congress, as outlined in the Three-Fifths Compromise during the Constitutional Convention.
