That is because the northern non-slaveholding states feared that
counting them as a whole human being would give the southern
states too much influence. This was a compromise position.

No one can read our Constitution without concluding that the people who wrote it
wanted their government severely limited; the
words "no" and "not" employed in restraint of government power occur 24 times in the
first seven articles of the Constitution a
nd 22 more times in the Bill of Rights. - Edmund A. Opitz

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
