FLORIDA CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR KEPI.
Florida participated in the Civil War as a member of the Confederate States of America. It had been admitted to the United States as a slave state in 1845. In January 1861, Florida became the third Southern state to secede after the 1860 presidential election victory of Abraham Lincoln. It was one of the initial seven slave states which formed the Confederacy on February 8, 1861, in advance of the American Civil War. Florida had by far the smallest population of the Confederate states with about 140,000 residents, nearly half of them enslaved people. Florida sent around 15,000 troops to the Confederate army, the vast majority of which were deployed elsewhere during the war. The state’s chief importance was as a source of cattle and other food supplies for the Confederacy, and as an entry and exit location for blockade-runners who used its many bays and small inlets to evade the Union Navy. One thousand and forty-four African Americans from Florida served in the Union Army. Confederate items are extremely hard to come by from Florida. This old hat has seen some battles. Kepi has the Florida state buttons on each side with FLORIDA spelled out under star. $6550
