Reflecting on NHD

Project name: Constitutional Convention of 1787 and the Three-Fifths Compromise; The First of Several Compromises

Project type: Paper-solo

What I have learned from this experience is more than i can type. My paper covered the issue of slavery in the Constitutional Convention. Growing up i was always taught and always have thought during the civil wars times that the South was Bad and the North was good. However, this project changed my whole perspective of the North. Believe or not i learned that they benefited from the South having slaves, because it helped out their industries. So neither the South nor North was completely innocent. Also a tricky part of my project was gathering primary sources. Everyone who had served as a delegate or knew them was pronounced dead. The National Constitution Center helped alot, but it still made it difficult.
