how polarized people can find common ground

Emory University Leader Revives Racial Concerns
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.
