I’m sorry that you cannot see the hypocrisy of the south’s insistence on including slaves “for representation” when they were denied representation. In doing so they only postponed the inevitable confrontation between Freeman and slaveholder.

Don’t change the argument; we’re not talking about hypocrisy and you know it. We’re talking about the 3/5 Compromise and how it came to be.

You’re the guy (or gal) who said that the Southern states didn’t want to count the slaves at all! Then, in your very next breath you said the Southern states waxed indignant when it was proposed by the non-slave states that they couldn’t! You can’t have it both ways.
