Florida was a Confederate state.
Florida was the center of the Confederate film industry during the 1920s to 1940s.
The Confederacy launched an invasion of the U.S.-held Bahamas from Florida at the beginning of the Second Great War, eliminating a threat to Confederate Cuba. Eventually, U.S. forces retook the Bahamas.
Florida was one of the few states of the Confederacy that was not overrun and occupied by the U.S. until after the Second Great War ended. Consequently, the population of Florida was particularly restive, and the U.S. was frequently forced to implement harsh conditions.
Vice President-elect Harry Truman visited Tallahassee, Florida in late 1944. He commended the U.S. troops on their duty, and reiterated the importance of their continued occupation until the former Confederate States could be integrated back into the U.S.
Michael Pound was assigned to occupation duty in Florida after the Second Great War.

Florida was invaded by the Race in 1942 and was a major battleground between the United States and the Conquest Fleet in which both sides used atomic bombs. The Race tried to recruit disaffected blacks to fight against the U.S. Army on the Florida front but most of the soldiers mutinied and rejoined their American compatriots.
The Americans destroyed the Race-occupied city of Miami with an atomic bomb in 1943. The Race used an atomic bomb against American lines outside Orlando the following year.
