Yes, that's right. They intended to count black people as 3/5ths of a human in order to dilute the population count. I'm sure that made black people feel better. After working without pay all day they probably sat around the supper table and said to each other, "We might only count as 3/5ths of a person, but the founders didn't do it intentionally, they did it with good intentions. It was just for accounting purposes. See the difference? It's not at all like how the founders intended to keep womenfolk from voting. Cause that's something that really does make sense."
