Emory University Leader Revives Racial Concerns
By KIM SEVERSON and ROBBIE BROWN
ATLANTA — In a column, James W. Wagner, president of Emory, praised the
1787 constitutional compromise on slavery as an example of how polarized
people can find common ground.
What did the Great Compromise of 1787 do to the slaves?
Answer:
It led to The Three-Fifths Compromise. This allowed slaves to be counted
as three-fifths of a person for purposes of the census. Due to the fact
that slaves were not allowed to vote or hold places in Senate, it
reduced the political power of slave holding states by boosting overall
numbers.
