1863 Florida's 2nd congressional district special election
A special election to the Confederate States House of Representatives for Florida's 1st congressional district was held February 2, 1863.[1]
The winning candidate would serve the remainder of a two-year term in the Confederate States House of Representatives to represent Florida in the 1st Confederate Congress from February 3, 1863, to February 18, 1864.
Background [ edit ]
In the 1861 congressional election , James Baird Dawkins was elected to the Confederate States House of Representatives. However, Dawkins resigned on December 8, 1862 after Governor John Milton appointed him as a state judge.[2]
Candidates [ edit ]
Campaign [ edit ]
Unique to this election, none of the five candidates came from West Florida , which had been the state's political powerhouse, showing the waning influence of Pensacola . Martin and Ives were both from North Central Florida ; Martin was a planter and Confederate States Army captain from Ocala , while Ives was an influential newspaper editor from Lake City . Broome, the former governor of Florida , was from Tallahassee . Gettis, a former state representative from Tampa , was famous in Florida for his actions during the Battle of Tampa . The only candidate out of the five without a major reputation in the state was Hawes, a former state senator from Orlando , which was still a small frontier town at this time.
