"counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.” The WHOLE NUMBER OF PERSONS.
Pretty cut and dried, no matter the bigotry of the reader.
For folks who are willing to watch us get slaughtered just so they can play with the gun of their choice because the constitution says so, the rest of the document seems worthless.
So you're saying slave states should get equal representation in the house of representatives even though they had fewer free whites within their state?
I'm saying as slavery is unconstitutional but the census is, when the census is held, WVERYONE living in the United States MUST be counted.
You are confusing history with the present
When was slavery considered unconstitutional what year?
Well, the 13th amendment was ratified in 1865 so, there's that.
Do you know anything about the 3/5th compromise?
I know it has nothing to do with any argument that undocumented immigrants should not be counted.
Yet it stopped slave states from getting more power in the house. Imagine without that 1787 compromise slavery might still exist today. Just like today's illegal immigrants we need to count them as 3/5th
The moral imperative against slavery would have prevailed nonetheless. We were a moral nation prior to Trumpism..

Let's check:
Democrat’s Bountiful Gifts To Out Black Brethren
1.Doubling down on their support for slavery and segregation, the Democrat Party blocked every anti-lynching to come to the Senate.
2. Dragging their feet on post-war freedom for their slaves, they imposed poll taxes and Jim Crow laws.
3. The Obama ‘Promise Program’ made it almost impossible to remove thugs and criminals from ghetto schools, to make certain that learning was impeded.
4. Authored gun laws that only law abiding citizens would obey, preventing black citizens in crime ridden neighborhood from protecting themselves.
5. Promoted bogus anti-police hatred, while ignoring some 350,000 blacks killed by lawless blacks.
324,000 U.S. Blacks Killed by Blacks In Only 35 Years
6. In nearing a century of Democrat welfare, blacks remain as the lowest income racial group.
7. Allied with the International Left, the Democrat party makes certain that racial animosity never dies down.
8. The Democrats made and make certain that religion and morality is barred from the schools and from the public arena. “…will America be made better by curbing religion in the name of secularism, of vice versa?” Ben Shapiro
9. The Democrat judicial system is based on the idea that all blacks are felons, so felons must be released from jails. Carter-appointed judge Norma Shapiro “ is one of the worst offenders among that influential cadre of federal judges who have substituted the ACLU's prisoners' rights wish list for the Bill of Rights and have trifled with public safety concerns. …” In 1992, black youths were nine times more likely to be murdered than white youths. Democrats lied, kids died.
10. But wait…..they did manage to ban one single word from common parlance.
Is this the party you support?
