TopicWere the American Founding Fathers cowards when it came to slavery?

Many of the founding fathers were against slavery but could not convince the south to give them up. So they compromised with the North/South dichotomy.

Nobody was happy but they weren't unhappy enough to refuse to ratify the constitution.

The 3/5ths compromise was another thing that made no one happy. That was 2/5ths less than what the slave owners wanted and 3/5ths more than what the free states wanted but it made them not unhappy enough to ratify the constitution.
