Not 100% sure so don't use on your test but was that where every slave state must be balanced by a free state? As the country (US) expanded new states were added so they alternated. Slave state, free state, and so on. This also changed the status of some states to make it even.

Don't have an exact date, but I will look to see if I can find it and if so, modify this answer.  However, I do remember that the Underground Railroad was in operation between 1830-1865.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise between Southern and Northern states reached during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention in which only three-fifths of the population of slaves would be counted for enumeration purposes regarding both the distribution of taxes and the apportionment of the members of the United States House of Representatives. It was proposed by delegate James Wilson.\n\nNorthern delegates generally wished to count only the free inhabitants of each state. Southern delegates to the Constitutional Convention, on the other hand, generally wanted to count slaves at their actual numbers. Since slaves could not vote, Southern slaveholders would thus have the benefit of increased representation in the House and Electoral College (taxation was only a secondary issue). The final compromise of counting slaves as only three fifths of their actual numbers is generally credited with giving the South disproportionate political power in the U.S. government from the establishment of the Constitution until the Civil War.\n\nThe three-fifths compromise is found in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution:\n\n"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons." \n\n[edit] Origins\nThe three-fifths ratio was not a new concept. It originated with a 1783 amendment proposed to the Articles of Confederation. The amendment was to have changed the basis for determining the wealth of each state, and hence its tax obligations, from real estate to population as a measure of ability to produce wealth. The North had proposed counting all the slaves; the South insisted that slaves were not as productive, and suggested counting half the slaves. After proposed compromises of 2/3 and 3/4 failed to gain sufficient support, Congress finally settled on the three-fifths ratio proposed by James Madison. Though this amendment failed by falling two states short of the unanimous approval required for amending the Articles (only New Hampshire and New York opposing it), the ratio was a ready solution to the impasse in the Constitutional Convention. Notice, however, that the situation was quite different in the Constitutional Convention. In amending the Articles of Confederation, the North wanted slaves to count for more than the South did because this was to determine taxes paid by the states to the federal government. In the Constitutional Convention, the more important issue was representation, so the South wanted slaves to count for more than the North did.

You're a blabbering idiot....try reading something instead of posting inane comments masquerading as questions..\n\nThe Proclamation was issued in two parts. The first part, issued on September 22, 1862, was a preliminary announcement outlining the intent of the second part, which officially went into effect January 3, 1863, during the second year of the American Civil War. It was Abraham Lincoln's declaration that all slaves would be emancipated in all states which had seceded from the Union and which had not returned to federal control by January 1, 1863. The ten affected states were individually named in the second part. Not included were the Union slave states of Maryland, Delaware, Missouri and Kentucky. Specific exemptions were stated for 48 counties of Virginia designated to become the state of West Virginia, and also for New Orleans and several named parishes in Louisiana already under Union control. That is, areas under Union control on January 1, 1863 were not affected. Lincoln did not think he had legal authority over these areas under his Constitutional war powers.\n\nLincoln himself had declared he had no constitutional authority to free the slaves. In addition, freeing slaves was still a risky political act, since there were still slave states loyal to the Union and the initial war aims were centered on preserving the Union rather than freeing slaves. As such, the proclamation was a military order issued by Lincoln in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief, rather than the equivalent of a statute enacted by Congress, or a constitutional amendment.

Kind of open ended there...which country etc.  Perhaps the great compromise refers to the compromise made between the large and small states at the time of the creation of the United States which gave each state 2 Senators to serve in the Senate and Representatives based on population to serve in the House of Representatives.  That way in one House of Congress every state had equal representation and in the other House of Congress states with larger populations had more representation.

Unfortunately, slavery was a vital institution for the economic well being of the South. Whenever the issue of slavery came up during the drafting of the Constitution, arguments between North and South arose, which was one of the precursors to the Civil War. The Missouri Compromise, the 2/3 Compromise, both dealt with the issue of slavery and how far north it could extend. Southerners referred to it as a "necessary evil", a bad thing, but nevertheless it was vital to the South's economy, and also the nation as a whole.
