I do sales for a antique/estate selling business. Basically I research and find old shyt then price it and sell it.

anyway, today I found an original 1840 census. You can obviously search this online but it’s something about seeing “free colored persons” counted and slaves being marked to deduct 2/5 for representation on paper

Slavery hit its peak. Counting free black people as insane and basically perpetuating that slavery was a good for us and the country as a whole

I got it back in my office. We get to put aside things we want for ourselves. I’m gonna buy it.

The Slave holding states would be shooting themselves in the foot by doing that.
Having more slaves helped increase their political power due to the infamous 3/5 compromise.

They'd be inflated if anything.

No. They wouldn't be.

They represented political power and government representation.

As @Dat Migo said above,

They'd be inflated, if anything.
