The State Archives of Florida has created a first-rate guide to conducting research into society and culture in Florida during the Civil War.
The guide includes descriptions of collections that are available at the archives, links to collections at other repositories, and shortcuts to online primary sources. Essays by Dr. R. Boyd Murphree and Dr. David Coles provide a context and framework for how the Civil War affected Florida, what happened in Florida, and the role the state played in the military and political life of the Confederacy. This is the single best place to start work on class assignments.
