There were two main compromises made at the Constitutional Convention; the Great Compromise, and the 3/5ths compromise.
The “Great Compromise,” was: the small states got equal representation (two Senators from each state) in the Senate, and the large states got proportional representation based on population in the House.
The 3/5ths compromise was when the North, who didn't have slaves, wanted slaves to not be represented when deciding the amount of representation in Congress, while the South, in order to gain more representation, wanted all slaves to be counted. So, the 3/5ths compromise was born. The 3/5ths compromise was that all slaves would be counted as 3/5ths of a person. So, not a whole person, but sill counted somewhat.
This is a complicated question that, frankly, is (and has been) worthy of book-length studies and debate. In short, though, the Fabian Society wished to promote its ideas through gradual reformist efforts, rather than immediate revolution, which itself was a decidedly Victorian ideal. Also, the Fabian society called for scientifically planned societies that would be designed to better the English population, something which itself was a Victorian ideal.
Representatives of Spain and the United States signed a peace treaty in Paris on December 10, 1898, which established the independence of Cuba, ceded Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States, and allowed the victorious power to purchase the Philippines Islands from Spain for $20 million.
