Southern states had more slave population. They believed slaves should be represented but not counted toward taxes. However, northern states disagreed and thought the opposite. To settle disputes, the Founding Fathers created the 3/5ths compromise. In this compromise an African or Native American was counted as 3/5ths of a person. This act was unfair, and was later changed by President Lincoln. All people are 100% human and today all American people of any race is counted to be 5/5ths of a citizen.
