And who amended the Constitution, Martin? Are you saying that the
northerners forced themselves?

But I wonder. Was the 3/5th clause the part that caused the amendment?

There were white, black and in the white batch lots of Irish.

No there weren't. Not in North America. There were white indentured

-- usually five years.
