What do you mean slaves given recognition?Your statement is incorrect. The EC does not represent 'vote by acre' never did. This thread is not about slavery, that being said, the 3/4 vote actually gave slaves some recognition where they were given none before and, BTW the abolitionists won.
They couldn't vote. They weren't even considered "people" (see USSC Justice Tanney in Scott v Sandford plaintiff in error)
