Lt. Governor Calls Three-Fifths Compromise a ‘Great Move’

Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith (R) “is facing backlash for sharing a debunked conservative argument that the Three-Fifths Compromise was a step toward ending slavery in response to a discussion surrounding a bill that would eliminate state diversity programs,” the Chicago Tribune reports.

Said Beckwith: “The Three-Fifths Compromise, and many other things like that, were designed to make sure that justice was equal for all people and equality really meant equality for all.”
