The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Whether, and if so, how, slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years. The compromise solution was to count three out of every five slaves as a person for this purpose. Its effect was to give the southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had been ignored, but fewer than if slaves and free people had been counted equally, thus allowing the slaveholder interests to largely dominate the government of the United States until 1861. The compromise was proposed by delegates James Wilson and Roger Sherman.

Hey there!
Fertile means very suitable for farming - in other words, very rich and full of nutrients plants and food need to grow. When you say soil is fertile, often that means it's capable of producing massive food surpluses due to the fact that it can grow so much.
It's a region because it has the two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates around it. Unlike other regions around the area, the soil was unnaturally fertile, and that's why it takes up it's own region because it's not the same anywhere else.
It's a physical region. Humans did not create it, and the soil is part of what makes it physical. The settlers used the soil, but didn't make it.
Hope this helps!
