Counting three out of five slaves for legislative representation and taxing purposes based on population does not translate to individuals being ".6 of a freeman." Do the math. The hell it don't. Three out of five slaves were counted for the census, which means each of them were considered 3/3 of a human being. Adding in the other two to conclude they were all considered 2/3 of a human being is convoluted logic. Furthermore, it had nothing to do with whether or not they were considered human beings and everything to do with the numbers. You know...math.
