The main reason for fighting in Florida during the Civil War was its strategic importance as a Confederate state and its role in supplying resources, particularly beef and citrus, to the Confederate army. Florida's coastline also offered key ports for blockade runners to evade Union naval forces. Additionally, the state's geography and small population made it a battleground for both sides seeking to assert control over the region. The conflict in Florida was less intense than in other states, but it still played a crucial role in the broader war effort.
