3. According to the map, which region (Northern or Southern) would depend on slaves for money? Why? SLAVERY & AGRICULURE Write your answer as bullets in your notes!!!

Northern States Southern States 1.

Slave trade should continue 1.Slavery SHOULD NOT be abolished, or ended. Southern states depend on slavery for profit. 1.Slaves SHOULD count as population for the House of Representatives (votes for more power in Congress)

About the 3/5s Compromise The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise between Southern and Northern states reached during the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 in which three-fifths of the population of slaves would be counted for representation purposes regarding both the distribution of taxes and the appointment of the members of the United States House of Representatives.

Three-Fifths Compromise summary NORTH: SOUTH: Three-Fifths Compromise: Each slave will be counted as three-fifths of a person for taxes AND for population for the House of Representatives. South AND North both win – who loses? – the slaves. FIVE SLAVES = THREE WHITE PEOPLE
