Before the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, slaves in the South could only hope that advancing Union armies would not make themselves victims of collateral damage. After January 1, 1863, Southern slaves could look forward to being freed by advancing Union armies.The Proclamation had no effect on Union slave holding states.
With that said, many freed slaves wanted to enlist in the Union army.
The south generally didn't make as much supplies and arms as the north because the north had the industrial revolution which allowed things to be made faster and cheaper instead of having to have each handmade by a gunsmith. Also, the south around that time were busy growing and selling cotton on large plantations.

That was Robert E. Lee.
Like many senior Virginians, he opposed secession.
Whether he opposed slavery is more doubtful. He had had to take two years' leave to sort out his father-in-law's estate, which included many slaves. The old man had unwisely told them that they would be freed on his death. But they could not be freed until the disposal of the estate had been completed, and they became very rebellious.
Lee decided to make an example of the ringleaders, and his treatment of them was quite brutal, though not abnormal by the standards of the time.
His beliefs about slavery seem to be equivocal, and he has been claimed as a figurehead by both sides of the debate.

These orders revealed that Lee's divisions were widely separated, and that McClellan could destroy them, one by one.
Unfortunately for McClellan, there was a Confederate spy in his camp, who was able to alert Lee of what had happened, and Lee was able to concentrate his troops. Still, McClellan's position was favourable, and if he'd moved fast enough, he could still have destroyed Lee's army.
Instead, Lee was able to escape back to Virginia - for which McClellan was finally removed from command.
