The Connecticut Compromise had to do with getting small states on board with the union, so their sovereignty wouldn't just be overpowered by population centers.

The Connecticut Compromise had to do with getting small states on board with the union, so their sovereignty wouldn't just be overpowered by population centers. I think you're thinking of the 3/5 compromise which doesn't have much to do with the electoral college vs direct voting. It's just plain partial-disenfranchisement of blacks.
