Well, it illustrates how you liberals always bringing that up as a useless tool.

"Not counting" the slaves was to their benefit to curtail the power of their enslavers.

It was the enslavers who wanted them counted as "whole" people in order to exploit their own numbers against them.

When liberals bring this up, it's only to influence Americans who are ignorant about "American History". The liberal side of the ledger is overrun with people of that persuasion it would indicate.
