General Trapier certainly did not aid the governor's disposition when he wrote, "Fernandina, (or Amelia Island) is obviously the point most likely to become the object of the enemy's first attack." 119 The concern of Governor Milton with middle Florida and his lack of concern for east Florida was not lost upon the residents of east Florida who were beginning to believe themselves being abandoned by both Florida and the Confederacy. The state was not united and as recently as the election of 185...6 efforts had been made to attempt to divide the state into more than one political entity.
