Permission to adapt text from website

I wish to thank the State Library & Archives of Florida for granting written permission to adapt and use information from their website on Florida's Civil War history. Scott Mingus 21:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Trial basis infobox

edit

This article is my test subject for the template for Confederate states, located here. Comments needed, as I won't apply it to others until I get feedback. There's also one for the yanks here. The box needs more numbers than I can reference, and the page needs expansion, especially for production, bases, its congress, and more. I will not change B-class 5 yet pending acceptance of the template.

Seymour commanded Olustee forces

edit

I changed the commander of the Union forces engaged at the Battle of Olustee to General Truman Seymour as General Quincy Gillmore was not only not in Florida (Gillmore was at Hilton Head in South Carolina), but he had ordered Gen. Seymour not to advance into the inner part of the state. Seymour had written Gilmore that he would not do so, but changed his mind. An aide sent by Gillmore to ensure Seymour understood this order, did not arrive in time to stop Seymour from advancing to Olustee. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 00:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Most populous city in Florida

edit

The item "Largest City" in the inbox was just changed from Jacksonville to Pensacola. Looking at the 1860 census figures, Pensacola did indeed have a larger population than Jacksonville, but I also see that Key West had only 44 fewer residents in 1860 than Pensacola. There was a large Union military presence in Key West, but any Confederate military presence in Pensacola was likely more than offset by men from Pensacola serving elsewhere with Confederate forces. I feel pretty confident that there was no census taken in any Florida city during the Civil War, so I'm not sure we can say which city in Florida had the largest population during the war. - Donald Albury 19:22, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Fort Clinch

edit

Fort Clinch was held by the Confederacy for the first year of the year, so it is not proper to include it in a list of facilities which remained under Union control throughout the war. - Donald Albury 23:02, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
