Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement based on a compromise between the 13 original states in the United States, that a slave should count for 3/5 free men in the state's population when the seats of the newly-created House of Representatives were to be distributed. The agreement was passed on the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 and enshrined in the Constitution.

North States had originally argued that only free citizens should count when allocating seats in the House of Representatives. South states, on the other hand, had argued that the slaves should also be counted, as the slave southern states would thus be over-represented in the House of Representatives. The settlement was that a slave had to count for 3/5 free man and that this three-fifths man's owner was required to pay taxes for his slave.

As slaves were still not allowed to vote, the agreement gave the slave owners a clear political advantage as they thus constituted the majority of the population of the young union.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."

b) the confederacy had to pay all union war expenses.
