Those semantics you discount are huge, purposely taken out of context by the Left in order to hate on the Constitution and Founding Fathers.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that a slave is not a person let alone 3/5ths of a person. All it was referring to was 3/5ths of that population of slaves to be counted i.e. to equaling the playing field to voting among the states hence the compromise.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
