you say not, then okey-dokey.

So ... in this 'compromise' given what you've just said, I'd assume you take the position that the North should've stuck to its guns, as it were (although there was no actual moral purpose behind this position), and insisted that slaves would be counted as 0 human beings, and the egregious part is that they caved and allowed slaves to be counted as >0 people, like the South wanted?

Even though it likely would've resulted in the USA as we know it ... not happening?
