Sorry if I created confusion. The 3/5 Compromise was adopted at the 1789
Constitutional Convention. The reference to the 14th Amendment, adopted in
1868, was that the provision requiring a full reduction in representation for
the portion of the population denied the ballot was a reaction against, or at
least an echo, of the antebellum argument over the 3/5 representation of
slaves.
