During the US Civil War, Southern slaves were forced to work the farmlands to provide food for the military. Additionally, the Confederate armies used slaves to perform manual labor such as carrying ammunition, loading and unloading wagons and cooking for the soldiers. This released more white soldiers for battlefield operations. Their presence was also a cause for over estimating the size of Confederate armies.
