This exhibit will explore Florida's little-known Civil War history. The third state to secede from the Union in 1861, confrontations between Confederate and Union troops raged along Florida's Gulf Coast. Learn about stealthy Confederate blockade runners and Florida's "Cow Cavalry," plus find out how the war between the states affected secessionists, unionists, slaves and women in the Tampa Bay area.
