They were probably forced to let their slaves go unless the slave wanted to stay.
Union fought to free slaves, Confederate fought to stay slave states.
It is uncertain to tell if any were actually part of the Confederacy in battle, but I highly doubt it. Most slaves were considered to be inferior and were forced to stay on the farms. If a slave was to fight it would probably be for the north. I only know of one actual group of slaves that fought in the war. (There were a couple hundred in the group) and people were racist towards them, and they were also kept out of battles.

men had to go out and buy food and do work while women have to stay home and or teach kids and cook and clean they would have slaves to help them and there were about 100,000 slaves ~your welcome
