The three-fifths definition was detrimental to the Southern states, who wanted all the slaves to be counted and thereby get more seats in Congress.What I'm saying is, absent any real action to stop it in the courts, the Southern states could have reused the three-fifths definition to justify Jim Crow, as those affected by its statutes wouldn't be "full people" under the law. |
