Actually, it was the Union that maintained a series of concentration camps for escaped slaves during the war. They were called “contraband camps”. Escapes negro slaves (from seceded sates only) were put there and forced to work for the Union Army. Many slaves died of neglect and disease in those camps. The camp system was the brain child of Benjamin Butler, the “Beast of New Orleans”.
