only 22 % of the students could correctly identify how provisions in the Constitution gave advantages to slaveholders
this is wrong... its the opposite, so even the people chastising people for getting it wrong got it wrong... the constitution did NOT give advantages to slaveholders but took away advantages by not allowing slaves to be counted as full people and so not allowing slaveholders to breed greater representation in the house and senate... of course the racialists out of trotskies permanent war book, want to make this a statement about blacks and not a statement that when a man owns another man that other man is diminished but when not owned he stands full... no, they would rather the slaves had full count, so that slave holders could double representation... something the north couldnt to
besides... i doubt i will see the lives matter movement protest against people like NATTY BUTLER...
Slaves were property. They were not considered people in terms of having rights and needing services and protections from the government. Allowing them to count as 3/5ths of a person for the purposes of Congressional representation was 3/5ths too many, and gave the slave states a disproportionately high number of seats in Congress.
