Indiana's Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith is under fire from historians and other officials after making controversial remarks about the Three-Fifths Compromise. That compromise was reached during the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, and it determined that three of every five enslaved persons in the U.S. would be counted toward a state's Congressional representation. Beckwith posted a video on social media defending the compromise, claiming it helped "eradicate slavery" and was "a great move by the North." "This was a great move by the North to make sure that slavery would be eradicated in our nation," Beckwith said in the video. "It actually limited the number of pro-slave representatives in Congress by 40%" .
I know most MAGAts couldn't get through a Little Golden Book, but take a deep breath and try this:

A good book about how the 3/5ths clause helped the South rule.
