a little to simplistic at 5: 15. Counting slaves as 3/5 was not actually the belief slaves were 3/5 of a human. That is misconstrued by educators today and a lazy interpretation of what it really was which was a political tactic to bring the union together (and the North keeping the balance of power intact) knowing there was no way to abolish slavery in that moment. I specifically rememebr my AP US history teaching saying slaves were believed to be 3/5 of a person and i always found it kind of strange since it was obvious the north was doing this in terms of representation and fearing the spread of slavery to other parts of the country.

There is a mistake about royal governors in the introduction blurb. Two of the colonies, Connecticut and Rhode Island were chartered companies which elected their governors. And Maryland and Pennsylvania were proprietary provinces where the proprietors Calvert and Penn appointed the acting governors or lieutenant-governor, as the proprietor was considered the actual governor. The royal colonies started as chartered companies or as proprietary provinces which the government confiscated.

you are wrong; the final number of slave population was tabulated at 60% of the whole, actual number. Only the Slave states treated men like property and did not want to pay taxes on them YET had the chutzpah to try to count them for Congress.
Incidentally, this is why Democrats welcome illegal immigration; because it allows them more Representation in Congress. Not much has changed really.

I find it silly that the federalist clone, who signifies those who often represent commercial classes and wealthy people, is wearing a blue shirt, and the anti-federalist clone looks really business-savvy in his black overcoat.
And yeah, this Craig guy is great! Kind of reminds me of Spiderman joining and representing the Avengers.

craig, my professor said the three-fifths compromise doesn't mean a slave is three-fifths of a person- he said they only counted three-fifths of the entire slave population in order to please the states that wanted more power in the House of Representatives (but not entirely)
