Allapattah and Grapeland Heights The consistent Everglades flooding is fed by the extensive Kissimmee Caloosahatchee Miami Myakka and Peace Rivers in central Florida the Kissimmee River is a broad floodplain that empties directly into Lake Okeechobee which at 730 square miles (1,900 km2) with an average depth of 9 feet (2.7 m) is a vast but shallow lake Soil deposits in the Everglades basin indicate that peat is deposited where the land is flooded consistently throughout the year Calcium deposits are left behind when flooding is shorter the deposits occur in areas where water rises and falls depending on rainfall as opposed to water being stored in the rock from one year to the next Calcium deposits are present where more limestone is exposed. David Johnson c.?1990 Photographer The Confederacy received little help from Florida; the 15,000 men it offered were generally sent elsewhere Instead of men and manufactured goods Florida did provide salt and more importantly beef to feed the Confederate armies This was particularly important after 1864 when the Confederacy lost control of the Mississippi River thereby losing access to Texas beef the largest engagements in the state were the Battle of Olustee on February 20 1864 and the Battle of Natural Bridge on March 6 1865 Both were Confederate victories the war ended in 1865.
