The three-fifths compromise settled the issue of how slaves will be counted when appropriating taxes in the Union. The agreement was that slave states would pay extra taxes because every slave is counted as 3/5 of a freeman. The reason for this is that it was calculated that a slave is only 3/5's productive as a freeman. It also stipulated that they wouldn't talk about the issue of slavery until 1808
