The compromise stated for every 5 slaves, only 3 would be counted towards population. Northern states count slavery in high numbers to put more tax burden on the South and less to them.
The 3/5's Compromise made a Constitutional Convention in 1787 which allowed the Southern States to count a portion of slaves for the purpose of taxation and representation. ;

The Three-Fifths Compromise allowed southern states to count three-fifths of their enslaved population for Congressional representation and taxation, satisfying both Northern and Southern states to some extent. The North was partially appeased as it limited the count of slaves to less than full persons, while the South gained additional representation. This compromise highlighted the ongoing tensions over slavery that would continue to influence U.S. politics.
