Why did southern states want slaves to be counted as representation?

History

Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
6 0
State Representation is based off the population of the state, since slaves weren't technically citizens, they were not counted in deciding how many representatives a state had. Slaves were a large majority of the population in the south. The south thought they were under represented and wanted slaves to be counted so representation was fair in their eyes.
