C. Southern states.

Explanation:

A major issue during this time was how they were going to appoint the House of Representatives. The Three-Fifths Compromise appointed the seats in the House of Representatives based on population, while counting slaves. This counted 3 free men for every 5 slaves, given the name the "Three-Fifths Compromise." This benefited the Southern states as they had many slaves, which made them have a larger population and more seats in the House of Representatives.

it was on the rise and doing very well and would continue to do well until the great depression from 1929-1939
