雖然佛羅里達是南方各州中人口數最少的一州,而投入內戰的佛羅里達人大約只有16千人。儘管和其他南方州相比,佛州派出的人數少了很多,但是佛州卻是所有南方州之中,擁有最多役齡男子的一州。此外,佛州也提供許多珍貴的資源供南方聯盟使用。佛羅里達的海岸線有很多重要的港口,同時當地生產的糖、豬肉、海鹽等等,也提供食物給南方聯盟軍隊。


Though Florida had the smallest population of the Southern states, some 16,000 Floridians fought in the Civil War. While this was a small number when compared with other southern states, it was the highest percentage of available men of military age from any Confederate state. The state also provided resources valuable to the Confederate cause. Florida's coastline had important harbors and its products, such as sugar, pork, and salt, helped to feed the Southern soldiers.
