The slave-holding states (obviously).
This meant primarily the southern states; the land in northern states did not really support the kind of extensive farms where unskilled slave labor was of much use.

What was the purpose of the three fifths compromise?
Although slaves couldn't vote, the Southern states wanted to count them for the purpose of increasing their representation in the House of Representatives. The Northern states didn't want to count slaves at all because the South insisted slaves were property and not persons. The Three Fifths Compromise was was just that...a compromise that allowed the South to count three-fifths of the slaves towards their total population which ultimately gave the South greater representation in congress than they would otherwise have had.

What happened in the three fifth compromise?
It was when the southerners wanted to include slaves in the population count even though they wouldn't let them vote. They wanted slaves to be counted because that would increase their states population, therefore giving them more represenatives in the House of Represenatives. The Northerners argued that since the slaves couldn't vote they sound not be counted. So, they agreed that 3/5 of the slaves in the state would be counted in the states population. That became known as the Three-fifths compromise. I am doing this for my homework now

How did the state compromise over the issue of the slave trade?
During the Constitution, the South wanted the slaves to count as part of the population because the more the population, the more the representation a state had. The North argued that this was unfair and the the South were taking advantage of their slaves, because they didn't treat the slaves like people. In the end, they reached what is known today as the Three Fifths Compromise, meaning that a slave would count as three fifths of a person.
