The period from 1860 to 1865 would greatly impact the state
of Florida. One single event, the Civil War, and one person, Abraham Lincoln, were
the catalysts for great and radical social change. Florida became a Confederate state in 1861
and flew the Confederate flag during the American Civil War; fought between the
northern and southern states from 1861 to 1865.
