During the Civil War, all of the battles and most of the population of Florida were in the north of the state.

Explanation:

Florida was one of the first states to leave the Union and join the Confederation. Immediately after the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860, Florida announced secession (January 10, 1861) and thus became the third of the first seven states to secede.

In 1860, the population of Florida totaled 140,421 people, located almost entirely in the north (Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Tallahassee) and it ranked 31st in terms of population, and the combat-ready population was only 15,739 people (11% of the population).

Because of sparseness, Florida helped the Confederate army not so much with manpower as with food and equipment. The state’s long coastline made it difficult for the federal fleet to fight the Florida blockade breakers.
