The 13th Amendment abolished slavery ONLY in the Union states, not the Confederacy. It set slaves free by making it illegal to own them. My history teacher would say it contributed to the Union win of the Civil War because the slaves in the South (who also made up a majority of the South) had even more of an incentive to go North or help the North win the war.
