The CSA wins and Jubal Early is elected POCS. So many slaves ran away that there is a huge slave shortage. Ignoring the CSA Constitution he restarts the Atlantic Slave Trade. What happens?
The Royal Navy sinks and intercepts every single ship; then supports the North in the eventual reconquest of the CSA a few years down the line.

So honestly, is this some kind of joke? Are we trying to make a point about what you think are people ignoring the realities of the CSA constitution with things like, ending slavery?
Given how much profit slave-owners in Virginia were making on breeding slaves, I think there would be some resistance to reopening the slave trade in the CSA. Besides, a sudden influx of slaves will also devalue the working slaves owned in the Deep South as well. Plantation owners were not going to sit idle while their biggest investment lost its value.

The assumption is so many slaves escaped to the North that there is a severe shortage of them.
Supply and demand. That just makes slave breeding more profitable for those left in the business. I also suspect that whites are going to fill some of the economic roles slaves once filled, and might oppose bringing back the slave trade for reasons of economic competition.
See the CSA Constitution. The slave trade is outlawed, except with the USA.
