When Abraham Lincoln became president in 1861, South Carolina led the Southern States to secede from the Union.  The newly formed Confederate States of America quickly found themselves in the midst of what we now call the Civil War.  Battles were fought in almost every state east of the Mississippi River, including Florida.
