Southern slaves during the war went from liabilities to assets. When the north were taking the south out, the south realized they had way more slaves, than anything else left. They started putting the slaves out there to do battle, and keep the south in the fight....imagine that? The north is opposed to slavery, and the Africans are the slaves in the south, and fighting the north to keep things the way the were....President Lincoln got wind of who the north was truly fighting, and signed the Emancipation Proclamation, to make the southern slaves have no reason to fight, but get out of the way, so he could figure out a way to keep that union together.
Many were able to flee to the North during the chaos and fog of battle. In addition, many then joined the ranks of the Northern military to help defeat the Confederacy.

What is the difference between being a society with slaves and a slave society during the Civil War?
The Southern economy was critically dependent on slave labour during the Civil War and the years preceding it because it was a rural society. However, the Northern economy was not dependent on slave labour as they were more industrialised but there were still families in the North who had slaves. Thomas Jefferson for example, although opposed to slavery, inherited and owned over one hundred slaves; he was not dependent on them but they were still there. It's the South's dependence on slaves that made them a slave society as opposed to a society with slaves.
