    No.  The 3/5 compromise was *not* anti-slavery.  Your subject line
    is a lie.

    It gave the slavers something they didn't deserve.  It was
    pro-slavery.

    Would you rather that the slaves had been counted for representation,
    the slave states been given the additional power?

    They shouldn't have been slaves *at all*. Because they were, they
    should not have been counted for representation to *any* degree.

    Of course, after the corrupt end of Reconstruction, when your
    ancestors put Jim Crow into place and blacks were all but
    disenfranchised, they counted fully for representation, and white supremacists had far too much representation in Congress.

    Lying isn't going to change history.

    Six days after the Confederate army surrendered, John Wilkes Booth, a
    Democrat, assassinated President Lincoln. Lincoln’s vice president, a
    Democrat named Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency. But Johnson
    adamantly opposed Lincoln’s plan to integrate the newly freed slaves into
    the South’s economic and social order.

    Johnson and the Democratic Party were unified in their opposition to the
    13th Amendment, which abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment, which gave
    blacks citizenship; and the 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the vote.
    All three passed only because of universal Republican support.
