I think of Key West for a lot of things, but the Civil War was not one of them until today.
While Florida was part of the Confederacy, Key West was not and freed its slaves early
FYI I live in central FL, and it is a 7-to-8 hour drive from here to there; FL is longer than most non-Floridians think.
Tennessee is like Florida being longer then most people think. From east to west on I-40 it is 540 some mils long, if I remember right. If I remember right Floridians were involved in the Battle of Nashville on the second day, in action of defending Shy’s Hill, which was a loosing situation for them since they were probably outnumber by 10 to 1 so it was predicted then didn’t too good.
