The Constitutional Convention

Debates Over Slavery Other Issues at the Convention also divided the delegates-none more so than the question of slavery. The issue touched off bitter debates between northerners and southerners.

Three-Fifths Compromise SSouthern delegates said that enslaved people should be counted in calculating how many representatives a state should have in Congress. NNorthern delegates said that because enslaved people could not vote, they should not be counted toward a states representation. FFinally, Congress agreed to a plan called the Three-Fifths compromise.

 Each enslaved person would be counted as three fifths (3/5) of a free person.  Thus, 500 enslaved people would count as 300 free people.  The Three-Fifths Compromise was a gain for the South, which got more seats in the House.  Northern delegates reluctantly agreed in order to keep the South in the Union.

Three-Fifths Compromise  The Three-Fifths Compromise was a blow to African Americans.  It helped preserve slavery in the new Constitution by making a distinction between “free persons” and “all other persons.”  The Compromise was finally overturned when slavery was banned in 1865.

Slave Trade

Slave Trade  Some northern delegates wanted to ban the buying and selling of people anywhere in the country.  Southern delegates protested that a ban would ruin the South’s economy.  Once again, a compromise was reached.

Slave Trade  Ships would be allowed to bring enslaved people into the country for a period of 20 years.  After 1808, Congress could bar the importation of enslaved people.  But the slave trade within the United States was not affected.
