When the Three-Fifth Compromise was ratified and the Constitution written, diversity was rarely an issue and played little to no importance in the Constitution. However, race has been one of, if not the central of politics predominately in the southern states during the mid-1900s.

Both are countries with a melting pot of different people from a diverse range of cultural, ethnical, and religious backgrounds.
