Slave owners: "Our slaves are property! They have no human rights" Also slave owners: "Slaves are people, therefore they should count in out population statistics" Basically slave owners would only accept the humanity of slaves whenever it was personally beneficial to do so.

"Sometimes American history demands that we hold sets of complicated truths at the same time." I. Love. This. So. Much.

the 3/5 compromise goes to show that compromise isn't always a great thing and it shouldn't be instinct. the moral and ethical failures of our ancestors and forefathers sadden me, but motivate me to make a better world

I remember when I first learned about the 3/5 rule, I was in elementary school in the 70s. It blew my mind and broke my heart. I like this series a lot, thank you to all who worked on it.

On the William Lloyd Garrison's quote, a similar sentiment would be expressed by President Abraham Lincoln. Here's what he said in his second inaugural address: "Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said 'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'" In other words, he described slavery as America's Original Sin and the horrors of the civil war as God's punishment for that sin.

Frederick Douglass supported the US Constitution and disagreed with William Lloyd Garrison about the buring constitution. Douglass knew that thw Constitution could be amended and did not need to be eradicated. Slavery was a very complicated issue at the time, just like abortion is today. Many members in Congress would never personally would never get an abortion, but do not want to tell others what to do in their private lives. They stopped the slave trade, but unfortunately Americans were too attached to the economics of slavery, as mentioned in this video.

It wasn't "three-fifths of a person", it was three-fifths of ALL other persons", meaning 3/5th of the POPULATION of those persons, not of the persons themselves. Individual slaves weren't being counted as a fraction of a human being, in some racist notion of blacks being somehow less than human.

This was very informative. I had heard of the 3/5 compromise, but I didn’t really understand how and why it happened.
