Perhaps that’s one of the reasons the Slave Power wanted to break off as a separate country, they could start importing slaves again.

Not likely. The CSA Constitution specifically prohibited importing slaves from any country except the USA. Upper South slaves like VA would have objected strenuously to a renewal of imports, which would reduce the price of the slaves they sold off to the South.

In any case, the US Navy and Royal Navy would have had something to say about whether slave trading could be renewed or not.
