How much did Pompeian slaves get paid?
Slaves in the ancient world did not get paid. They received food, clothing and shelter and that was all their owners were obligated to provide for them. However the Romans (and possibly some other cultures as well) gave their slaves opportunities to earn "side money". This came from tips and presents either from the owner or from another free person for a job/service performed. Obviously, the city or domestic slaves fared much better on the financial scale than the rural slaves.
How much did a slave in ancient Greece earn?
By definition slaves are not paid for their labour. They were given sustenance. As an indication, the state slaves of Athens were given four obols a day (2/3 of a drachma) for their subsistence, doing comparatively well, as that is about all the rowers in the navy got, and a citizen juror got three obols. A warrior on campaign got 1 drachma, plus another drachma for a servant. A drachma was the standard daily rate for a skilled worker. Some slaves were given a sum of money by their owners to carry on small businesses on their behalf. Same in Rome, where it was called a peculum.

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.
