The Three-fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among delegates who came from the southern and northern states during the United States Constitutional Convention which held in 1787.
These delegates had disputes on how slaves are to be counted during census to determine the total population of each state which, consequently would determine the amount of taxes to be paid, as well as the number of house of representative seats.
