    The interesting thing is that the 3/5 of a person was a NORTHERN
thing.  Since Congresscritters, etc. were going to be apportioned
based on population (census, not who could vote) the North did not
want the slaves counted at all (largely to keep the
Congresscritters, etc., up North). THe 3/5 was a compromise.
