In the early part of the US Civil War, the Confederacy made good use of its slaves. Because the South's number of available men for troops were far less than the North, the South used slaves to accompany their armies and do the manual work that was doe by soldiers in the North. So carrying ammunition, driving supply carts and cooking food, was done with slaves. This allowed the South to use its white manpower as soldiers. Also, before the North began to make serious inroads in the South, farming duties were carried out by slaves. In the North, free workmen were used and therefore left fewer men for the North's armies.

Could the South had fought the CivilI War without slavery?
The War Between the states was not fought over slavery but instead state rights. This does not mean the South did not use slaves in the war, but the south offered slaves a chance to earn freedom if they served in the war, even though only ten percent of southerners were slaves at the time. So to answer this question more directly, yes slaves were not needed in the war but the use of slavery helped the south fight for what they believed in. Which might not have been right to today's society but back then it was a fair trade for slaves to fight and earn freedom.
