Topic: “Slavery in Florida during the Civil War 1860-1865”
Florida had one of the highest slave-to-whites ratios of any state in 1860.
This talk centers on where the plantations were in FL, what life was like at them,
and what happened to the slaves as the war progressed. You’ll also learn about an ante-bellum plantation
on this coast where a significant event unfolded in June 1865,
a place we’ll visit on Feb. 27th, so sign up for that if it isn’t already sold out.
