adell [148]
It was a bad decision on his part. Some may say his decision was good at the beginning but ultimately he made the choice to stay at war which led to a bad turn of events. Millions of dollars were spent on this and it wasn't even really successful, so I believe that was a poor decision.

During the Three-Fifths Compromise debate, why did the slave states argue to count slaves as part of their population?
expeople1 [14]

The correct answer is A) With a larger population, the slave states would be allowed more representatives in the national government, thus giving them more political power.

In the US House of Representatives, the states with larger populations have more representatives. This is important because the House of Representatives works with the Senate in order to make laws for the United States.

So, Southern states were heavily in favor of counting slaves towards the population. This would give Southern politicians more power to create national laws that would benefit their region.
