Following the repeal of both the repeal of slavery and the Three-Fifths Compromise, there is a pervading myth that has become perpetuated that instead of being counted for the purpose of representation, that instead the Three-Fifths Compromise was all about deciding the value of a human's life.  What this myth ignores is what historian Joseph R. Conlin points out, that the Three-Fifths Compromise counted free blacks as one full citizen.  In other words, a slave was counted as 3/5 of a free black too.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ysi1GcK3OmMC&pg=PA175 The American Past: A Survey of American History, Volume I: To 1877]</ref>
