When the civil war started there were 4 million slaves in the south. As northern troops came through the southern states the slaves would seek them out and follow the troops. They were called "contraband" because under military law anything (or person in the slaves case) the military unit that has the contraband doesn't have to be returned. Slaves were fighting and wanted to fight. Many slaves had backgrounds as military commanders before slavery. The African American units in the war were brave and many died under the union flags.

How did southerners react to reconstruction?
For the most part receptively, but still bitter at the brutal tactics employed by the Union and the mess that became reconstruction. Reconstruction was really a failed effort after the assassination of Lincoln. Though Andrew Johnson had a very conciliatory approach to reconstruction, but being a southerner himself he failed to gather the support of Congressional Republicans and many Democrats. The final result was a bureaucratic mess of reconstruction that left the south broke and technologically backward. Even though the ending of slavery was a just cause, the north still acted unnecessarily unforgiving toward the south and left the south without an economy. The real point is that southerners (then and now) resent northern states and politicians because of how poorly Reconstruction was carried out. In fact, its only been in the last 15 years that the automotive and aerospace industries have begun filling the economic void left by the forceful end of slave-driven agriculture. Southerners didn't respond well, but really because of the massive incompetence of northern politicians.
