They stayed because they did not think the Civil War would end slavery and they could still keep their slaves even if they stayed in the Union.

Many Migrated North and West OR Many stayed to rebuild the South
The Confederates besieged Chattanooga in early fall 1863, but were driven off by Grant in November. Many of the Confederate defeats can be attributed to the poor strategic vision of General Braxton Bragg, who led the Army of Tennessee from Perryville, Kentucky to Confederate defeat at Chattanooga.
