Florida During The Civil War

About this book

John Edwin Johns' Florida During the Civil War is a comprehensive and insightful examination of Florida's unique role in the American Civil War. Often overshadowed by larger Southern states, Florida's contributions and challenges during the conflict were nonetheless significant, shaping both military strategy and the daily lives of its people.

Johns explores the political, economic, and social landscape of Florida in the 1860s, detailing its secession, its strategic importance to the Confederacy, and the struggles of its citizens as war disrupted agriculture, trade, and governance. As a major supplier of beef, salt, and other critical resources to the Confederate war effort, Florida's sparsely populated yet vital territory played an outsized role in sustaining Southern forces.

The book also examines military engagements within the state, including the Battle of Olustee, the largest Civil War battle fought in Florida, and Union efforts to control key coastal areas such as Jacksonville, Pensacola, and the St. Johns River. Additionally, Johns highlights the experiences of Florida's diverse population—enslaved people, Unionists, soldiers, and civilians—who endured hardship and upheaval as the war progressed.

Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, Florida During the Civil War provides a nuanced understanding of how the conflict shaped the state's future. Essential reading for Civil War historians and Florida history enthusiasts alike, this book offers a fresh perspective on a lesser-known but crucial aspect of the war.
