I would have to say no/no as well, and just for the reason you posted. At the time when people owned slaves, it was legal, so why should they be punished after the law changed if they did not add new slaves to their holdings? That would be like me getting a speeding ticket because I use to drive down a road at 45mph when the speed limit was 45mph, before they had downgraded it to 35mph. I can't go back in time and tell myself "Hey, in the future this will be illegal, so you better not do it now."
