Re: Confederate Flag
I'm curious...what did YOUR granddaddy teach you about the 3/5ths compromise? How did YOUR granddaddy reconcile the fact that when the compromise was offered northern states also had slaves and that they simply didnt want them to be counted at all?
Edit: Really...Im just curious...not being argumentative. OFTEN TIMES...people trot out things like the 3/5th compromise or 'Jim Crow laws' and dont have the first ****ing clue the historical relevance or sometimes even WTF they were about. Like...when they were passed, what 'flag' was flying when it was being discussed, who were the proponents of what, etc....
