Regardless, it's relevant when discussing centuries-old values and law.

It is, and any argument of the state being blameless because it was private citizens engaging in slavery  which is where you're going here, is invalidated by the fact that all state governments had to do to stop it was say, "OK, people are not property." Their refusal to do that is the state's right they were referring to when seceding.
