The north didn't want the slaves to be counted at all. It was 3/5ths or nothing. Would you have preferred the slaves not have been counted entirely for representation in the House of Representatives?




Considering that non-slaves would've been disproportionally represented because only they could've been able to vote, yeah.

Not engaging Russia when they were sacking Germany. Might have changed the entire landscape.

Northerners demanded the 3/5. South wanted them to count as 1 - but that would have given the south more representatives, so the north didn't want to count them at all, settled on 3/5.

IMO the biggest political mistake was Germany declaring war on the US on Dec 8, 1941. Hitler should have declared war on Japan instead. You want to talk about 4D chess.


Yeah, and we'd ally with Nazi Germany over Britain and France? You're an idiot.

For the U.S., I'm going with the election (twice) of Obarry as POTUS. Fundamentally $%#@'ed the us.
