The Three-Fifths Compromise was established to address the concern of southern states regarding counting the enslaved towards population for Congressional apportionment. Slaveholding states were allowed to count all their free population, including free African Americans, and 60 percent of their enslaved population, giving them extra representation in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College.
