How did slaves in the south contribute to the union war effort?
Wherever the Union armies went in the South (after the Emancipation Proclamation), they were under orders to liberate any slaves they found. These (ex) slaves followed the armies back North and were given menial jobs in the camps. Presently some were allowed in uniform. Although the "liberators" did free many slaves on their march, it would be a disservice not to mention both sides of this. Some slaves were murdered by the Federal troops, and many of the women were raped by their liberators. Many followed the Union troops, and fell ill or starved. Often, slaves would flee into the woods when the Yankee armies approached, knowing that in some cases the men would be taken to perform menial tasks, such as grave and trench digging.

Why did general butler declare slaves to be contraband?
General Benjamin Butler declared slaves to be contraband of war during the American Civil War to prevent them from being returned to their Confederate owners.

This declaration helped to provide refuge for escaped slaves and laid the groundwork for the eventual emancipation policies adopted by the Union. It also marked a significant shift in the Union's approach to the issue of slavery during the war.
