Answer:

B

Explanation:

Back then, slaves weren't considered people by the majority. They just wanted a larger representation in Congress, which they would get with a bigger population. More slaves=bigger population=more representation=more power.

Answer:

B. So they could have more representation in congress

Explanation:

As answer A states that they were people but 75% (rough calculation) of the population didn't like slaves because they were poor and they were just being used for other people's amusement so the answer would be B.

Sorry if that explanation didn't make sense I'm not very good at summarising my answers/explanations. :).
