The correct answer is D because originally, no slaves were counted in the entire population of slave owning states. This angered states (ones like Virginia) because slaves made up a great number of the population, though they were not counted.

Answer:

<u>d. increased the power of slave states by counting 3/5 of the slaves instead of none of them.</u>

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement made between delegates during the Constitutional Convention (1787) that established that the number of seats of the House of Representatives for each state should be calculated in accordance to the number of free persons, (excluding Indians not taxed) and the three-fifths of slaves, instead of none of them since slaves were regarded as a property or a thing and not as people.

The Compromise, then, would increase the representation and political power of Southern states which were the ones with more slave population. In the first US Congress of 1790, for example, the Southern states accounted for 47 seats in the House of Representatives.

Which of the following was the most dangerous for prisoners in Andersonville Prison during the Civil War?

gavmur [86]

The first prisoners were brought to Andersonville in late February 1864. During the next few months, approximately 400 more arrived each day. By the end of June, 26,000 men were penned in an area originally meant for only 10,000 prisoners. The largest number held at any one time was more than 33,000 in August 1864.
