The Civil War was over slavery. The North was against it and the south was for slavery. The North won so all the slaves were freed.
First of all, the civil war was not fought over slavery. The Northern slaves were freed first because it took longer for King Lincoln's army to beat down the confederacy. The slaves in the south weren't freed until reconstruction.
In the United States before the US Civil War, slaves were not freed when the slave holder died. In most cases they remained as part of the "property" of the slave owners estate. It is likely that the heirs of the deceased slave owner took over the plantation and kept the slaves.

Some freed slaves stayed on the plantations where they had worked before or moved to other plantations nearby. Many freed slaves did not know how to be free, so they caused problems by stealing and fighting.
