Not done. First, although it's mentioned there, it's unsourced, and I can't find anything to back it up after a quick search. But either way, it's also kind of obscure, and there's no reason to single it out. Better would be to add a listing for it at Florida (disambiguation). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:28, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Re: Civil War and Reconstruction
[edit]Can we add on the very first line on this topic, as per main Florida in the American Civil War lead, totally relevant and well rehearsed and debated, the following;
- start
Florida participated in the American Civil War as a member of the Confederate States of America. It had been admitted to the United States as a slave state in 1845. In January 1861, Florida became the third Southern state to secede from the Union after the November 1860 presidential election victory of Abraham Lincoln. It was one of the initial seven slave states which formed the Confederacy on February 8, 1861, in advance of the American Civil War.
Florida had by far the smallest population of the Confederate states with about 140,000 residents, nearly half of them enslaved people. Florida sent around 15,000 troops to the Confederate army, the vast majority of which were deployed elsewhere during the war.
- end
then add the cotton justification etc.

I do not believe there anything to change the state anthem from "Florida, Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky" to "Seminole Wind". Please correct this accordingly (Change "Seminole Wind" to "Florida, Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky" EdgewaterFLNationalist (talk) 14:58, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
Done It had already been changed in the infobox at the top of the article. I made the change in the State Symbols section. Donald Albury 17:09, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
