GOP lawmaker: Three-Fifths Compromise was to end slavery

During lengthy debate on the GOP-controlled House floor, several Black lawmakers expressed concerns about the bill's impact on how certain subjects would be taught in schools, specifically highlighting the Three-Fifths Compromise. Historians largely agree the compromise gave slaveholding states inordinate power over choosing a president — and decisions of the Continental Congress. Lafferty, who is white, stood up and talked at length about what he saw as sparking the compromise. Lafferty’s statement about how the Three-Fifths Compromise was created to end slavery was alarming but the real insult was when the House Republicans clapped for him when he finished his diatribe,” he said. While the House overwhelmingly approved the legislation on Tuesday, the GOP-controlled Senate chamber refused to accept the House bill hours later.
