Answer:
The state of Florida and the state of Washington are located in totally opposite places from the continental United States: Florida is in the extreme southeast, while Washington is located in the extreme northwest of the country. The distance between the two states, in turn, is approximately 3,000 miles, with which the climatic conditions between both vary enormously.
Thus, in Florida there is a predominantly tropical and subtropical climate, with very hot summers and mostly cool to cool winters (except in the northern part, where there may be cooler temperatures); while Washington has an oceanic climate, with hot summers and cold winters, with usual snowfall.
Furthermore, due to its location near the tropics and the Caribbean Sea, Florida is an area with the usual tropical storms that affect its coastal cities; while Washington does not suffer this situation because it is located in a colder climate.
Reconstruction is largely seen as a failure, and many historians believe this was primarily because the South for so long had been dependent on slaves that in one swift motion the South's entire livelihood shifted. This dramatic shift was too much for the Southerners to absorb at once, and harsh Jim Crow laws sprang up.
