Florida was surrounded by water, which increased the capacity of its navy.

Florida's land was mountainous, so it was easier for troops to travel across it.

Answer 1

Florida was far to the south, so few battles happened there.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was one of the seven original states who seceded from the Union following Lincoln´s election. It had the smallest populations of the Confederate States and nearly half of it was slaves. Its major importance was to supply food to the south and support blockade-runners along its long coastline.

Because of its geography and the small population Florida´s had there was little fighting there. The only major conflict was the Battle of Olustee in February 1864.
