After more than a decade of your babbling nonsense on this site it's probably too late for anything to change but if you had any sense of decency it'd be nice if you could choose to either learn how to read and write English...

Maybe Marc had the same English teacher as Ms. Palin

and you took the bait

The bait?

What the fuck are you talking about? You think somebody took a case all the way to the Supreme Court in such a way that they could bait an opponent with the decision by the SC? Are you on drugs?

kallend ran with the liberal twist on the ruling

Are you on drugs?
wow!

Bait means something was specifically put somewhere to get a reaction.

Are you saying Breitbart baited people?

***IIRC, the south wanted the entire slave counted. Please enlighten me about what right-thinking America now considers to be true history?

Wendy P.

the north did not want the slaves counted because it gave the south more power by the number

The north did not want to count them at all

so, in an attempt to get the south to come along the north offered the 3/5s of a person count

The south accepted this because they believed that the south would grow the fastest and then therefore have the power they needed to keep more of their reps in office to maintain slavery.

But this did not happen
The north grew faster and then were able to get more reps in congress and that is when the votes started to end slavery and history was made

Wendy
It is not about agreeing with anyone
It is about knowing history

the left has distorted this story so as to make it look like the Dems ended slavery. Which is NOT the case

So, if I am wrong, WHY would the south want to count every entire slave? If what I posted is not correct, what would that gain the south?

So slaves weren't equal to white people, who automatically got counted as 1. They were barter chips in a grander scheme, of lower quality, ability and worth.

No, that's not it either. The reality is that the slaves were not considered fully human, and therefore not really people. It was simply a way for the northern and southern states to divide up power in a way they could both agree on. No one gave any consideration at all to the worth of slaves as people.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

It was simply a way for the northern and southern states to divide up power in a way they could both agree on. No one gave any consideration at all to the worth of slaves as people.

Indeed. From the "Cornerstone Speech" by the Vice president of the Confederacy, on the need for secession in order to preserve slavery:

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science.


"With us, all of the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, are equal in the eye of the law. Not so with the negro. Subordination is his place. He, by nature, or by the curse against Canaan, is fitted for that condition which he occupies in our system. The architect, in the construction of buildings, lays the foundation with the proper material-the granite; then comes the brick or the marble. The substratum of our society is made of the material fitted by nature for it, and by experience we know that it is best, not only for the superior, but for the inferior race, that it should be so. It is, indeed, in conformity with the ordinance of the Creator. It is not for us to inquire into the wisdom of His ordinances, or to question them. For His own purposes, He has made one race to differ from another, as He has made “one star to differ from another star in glory.”

you did not answer the question

You gave some so called reasons but what would that gain them?

You are wrong anyway but I look forward to your answer

The Confederacy states were????

The Confederacy wanted the slaves to be counted as 1 so they would have more representation in the house so as to hold on to their slaves

This is why the Northern stated did NOT want them counted as one
So they could try and end slavery

You just supported MY argument

Many in the Republican party DID consider them as people and wanted to end slavery
Hence the 3/5s person compromise

You are looking very silly

The 3/5s of a person issue was used to determine how many reps a state got. Not how the states districts were drawn.

Which both have something to do with which people are counted.

If you were anymore fucking obtuse you'd be a goddamned straight line.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

If you care to look up thread you will see I did not bring up the 3/5s person issue
Wendy did

Then kallend destroys his own position (in his argument with me) and now you twist it

So, is it just going to be a blank page then?

Look, man, I bet all the stuff you type makes complete sense in your head cavity. But I think something might be broken in your head-to-hand coordination, because more often than not you sound like a drunk baby discussing policy. A baby who never took any sort of lesson on sentence structure, grammar, spelling, topic cohesion, or punctuation.

As opposed to other babies who have, I guess.

I let my simile get away from me.

Anyway, you should see a doctor about that.
