The North did not want to give African Americans the right to vote, because then the southern voting population would raise. The north disagreed with allowing the south to have a larger population. However, the south wanted slaves to count for votes so that they had more people and representation. Eventually, the three-fifths compromise solved these issues. This meant that African Americans counted as 3/5 of a vote. This helped the south because of a raise in voting population, yet it fit to the north's preferences as well. This was because African Americans did not count as whole votes.
The north supported the 3/5 compromise. The south wanted slaves to count as part of the population, but the North disagreed with that because they did not want the south to have a bigger population. The 3/5 compromise settled the slave population dispute, making the north support it.
