When it came to apportionment for the purpose of taxation the south didn’t want blacks included in the count. At all. When it came to apportionment for the purpose of representation the south wanted them counted at full value even though they would be denied the representation afforded to their masters. If that isn’t hypocrisy I don’t know what is.

It’s the south that wanted it both ways.

The discussion was not about taxation and you know it. You trotted out taxation because your position re: the 3/5 Compromise was untenable, and you tried to change the topic. Are you a Democrat?
