3/5 compromise

Today in class we went over what we did last class and learned a little bit of new things. We learned that the great compromise what about what states got what votes for certain decisions. We then brought up the topic of the 3/5 compromise that is applied to all slaves. The northern states wanted the slaves to count as nobody in votes and the south wanted the slaves to count as the average white man. Slavery was wrong in general and to some extent I think giving them 3/5 is worse then just zero. The 3/5 just seems like they're acknowledging the fact that they're not white men and it just seems straight wrong. Even though the slaves were getting votes, they really would only vote for what the owner wanted to vote for, making the voting almost useless. I think this is a good time to bring up this because it is in fact black history month and I think we should learn a bit more on black history.
