The accurate statement regarding the Three-Fifths Compromise and the issue of slavery is:

**The compromise allowed the slave trade to continue for the next 20 years.**

The Three-Fifths Compromise was primarily a constitutional arrangement that determined how slaves would be counted for taxation and representation purposes, but it also included provisions related to the continuation of the slave trade until at least 1808.
