A New Constitution By Professor Pressley Album: History Rocks

3/5 Compromise Southern states wanted slaves to count as part population Northerners believed that because slaves couldn’t vote they shouldn't be counted as part of population three-fifths (3/5) of all slaves in any state would be counted in population figures Southerners could count slaves, but also had to pay for them by paying taxes Do you think this is fair from the Southerners perspective? Why or Why not? Do you think this fair from African Americans perspective? Why or Why not?

The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise Problem- South depended on the export of agricultural products for $: North wanted to abolish slavery Congress was not allowed to tax export goods of any state. The slave trade would be abolished after 20 years (abolished in 1808) most thought that the abolition of the slave trade would bring and end to slavery
