  • But RC! How can I see them as equals when they're 3/5 of a person?! It said so at the trading center at the Boston Port!

  • They were generous with 3/5. More like 1/8.

  • They did see them inferior back then, but slavery was born out of economics. Also, when slavery started, it was illegal for whites to own blacks, but not the other way around.
