re: #168 Alouette

The slave-owning states wanted their slaves to count for a whole person and the non-slave-owning states did not want them to be counted at all.

Geez, if you are going to complain about the 3/5ths compromise at least take the time to learn what it was all about.

I know what the 3/5ths compramise was, and I’m just saying that the way our founding fathers caved into the salves owners (even if we wouldn’t have had a country if they didn’t) is an example of why America like any other nation in the world is imperfect.

I just don’t see how a nation can be “moral” really….
