The 3/5ths rule helped bring an end to slavery by limiting the slave state’s representation. If slaves were counted as whole then the slaves states would have more representation by counting their slaves as their population. I get why people don’t like the 3/5ths rule. I wish we never had slavery but I’m glad my great great grandfathers & their brothers fought to end slavery in the civil war.
