Then don’t beat around the bush, would you support secession as a state’s right even if they were seceding to enslave you and make you the property of another human?

That's a question for you. Remember, my position is that they did not have the right to just declare they were seceeding from the union. You are the one who holds the position that they could secede anytime they wished. Besides, that was never in question during the secession crisis. At issue was the ability to extend slavery to new states/territories.
