Correct answer choice is :


C) How to count slaves in the census.


Explanation:


African Americans in the Federal Census, 1790-1930. The central government administers a census every ten years. The Federal Constitution specified that slaves were calculated as three-fifths of a citizen for tax schemes and the apportionment of the House of Representatives. Slavery was the significant objective of the American Civil War, with the South leaving to form a new country to defend slavery, and the North declining to allow that.
