The accurate statement regarding the Three-Fifths Compromise is: **The compromise allowed the slave trade to continue for the next 20 years.**
The Three-Fifths Compromise, reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, determined that for purposes of representation in Congress, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person. While it did not directly address the continuation of slavery itself, it did include a provision that allowed the transatlantic slave trade to continue for 20 years until 1808, when Congress could legislate against it.
