Due to its geographical location, there was actually very little fighting in the territory that belonged to the state of Florida. As the major battles were fought in the northern state of Tenessee and Virginia. On the other hand, because of its favorable weather for agriculture, Florida was a main supplier of goods to the Confederacy troops. This became increasingly important throughout the war, as the naval blockade executed by the Union, prevented the southern states to get sources easily.
