Yes, you are correct. The Three-Fifths Compromise had the impact of allowing southerners to maintain the security of maintaining slavery. It was a compromise made during the drafting of the United States Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787. It settled the issue of how enslaved individuals would be counted when determining a state's total population for the purpose of representation and taxation. According to the compromise, each enslaved person would be counted as three-fifths of a person for these purposes. This compromise was sought by politicians from the South who wanted to ensure that their states would have more representation and influence in government.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a solution to the disagreement between the Northern and Southern states regarding the counting of slaves for population purposes and the distribution of political power. The compromise stated that enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person when determining both the population for representation in the House of Representatives and the taxation of states. This compromise satisfied the Southern states by giving them greater representation in the House based on the number of slaves they held.
By including the Three-Fifths Compromise in the Constitution, the Philadelphia Convention was able to address the contentious issue of slavery and secure the support of the Southern states in the ratification process. This compromise played a significant role in the passage of the Constitution by appeasing the concerns of the Southern states and maintaining unity among the participating states.
