I think, as it was collapsing, the South in general and most slave owners there, concluded, "Well this emancipation thing may free our slaves, but they'll have nowhere else to go so most will still be available as cheap labor."
As it turns out, they were right in most cases. Many slaves left the plantations, but then wound up working for the same people or descendants thereof.
