The North opposed counting every slave for representation because it would disproportionately boost the political power of the Southern states, where enslaved populations were high. This could lead to increased influence in Congress and the Electoral College for slaveholding states, undermining Northern interests. Additionally, many Northerners viewed slavery as morally wrong and believed that counting slaves as part of the population for representation unfairly legitimized the institution. Thus, the North sought to limit the political power derived from slavery.
