Answer 2

Answer:

A). People were opposed to high taxes and conscription policies.

B). People found it hard to gather supplies for Confederate troops.

D). People began to question their support for secession.

Explanation:

John Milton remained Florida's governor during the American Civil war. He strongly supported the rights of the state and raised the issue of 'separation of Florida from the Union.' The above challenges were faced by Florida due to its joining of the confederacy as when Milton displayed the interest towards secession, the union attempted to create blockades in order to prevent the confederate supporters and army from accessing the supply route(which was majorly through Florida) so that people begin opposing and questioning seceding decision. Thus, Milton chose to commit sui-cide(at last) as he could not tolerate letting Florida be a part of the Union. Therefore, options A, B, and D are the correct answers.
