Technically speaking, a slave is a person who is held as property, just like a dog or an ox or a horse. You do not pay your horses or oxen or other property. That's what slavery is, forced and unpaid labor. However, the US paid freed slaves who served in the military.
Contraband consists of materials which may be confiscated and used by the enemy. In the Civil War, slaves freed by the Union troops, since they belonged to the Confederates, could also be taken as Contraband. Many of the freed slaves later volunteered for military service.

Federal employees are divided into two groups -- military service and civil service. Civil service means civilian service. The Civil Service System is the set of laws and regulations that govern civilian employees. The term also extends to government bodies that have no military.
The law that forced people into military service during the Civil War was the Enrollment Act of 1863, also known as the Civil War military draft. It required all male citizens and immigrants to register for conscription to serve in the Union Army if needed. Those drafted could also pay a commutation fee or provide a substitute to avoid service.
