At first, they would sneak out at night, and follow the North Star, a star that led them North. They would travel at night, and hide during the day, from slave owners. Then when Kansas was given the option to vote on weather or not Kansas should be a Free State or a Slave State. That's when Bleeding Kansas Came in. People were having a miniature Civil War between Missouri and Kansas. John brown, a Jawhawker (antislavery) would take a group of men, and go to Missouri, and take some slaves, and bring them back to Kansas. Because Missouri was a Slave State...
Then Later the Civil War broke out.
Im only 13, and this is the best information i can provide you with!
the north and south were having the ''civil war'' a fight between freedom of slaves or keeping them. the south thought it was good to own slaves and the north thought it was wrong to have slaves.

yes slaves were able to fight for their freedom in 1862 because that was the only way they could be free inless they bought their freedom but most slaves didnt have money to do so

The War Between the states was not fought over slavery but instead state rights. This does not mean the South did not use slaves in the war, but the south offered slaves a chance to earn freedom if they served in the war, even though only ten percent of southerners were slaves at the time. So to answer this question more directly, yes slaves were not needed in the war but the use of slavery helped the south fight for what they believed in. Which might not have been right to today's society but back then it was a fair trade for slaves to fight and earn freedom.
some slaves fought because they wanted to but some were forced to fight!
Many Southerners believed that slaves were property, and property cannot have a gun, fight, or kill people. Sometimes blacks did fight for the Confederacy, however
