I and my businesses were greatly important to the Confederate war effort. I was born in Connecticut, but moved south for my health before the war. Because of my business' efficiency, it was made the agent for the collection of Confederate tariffs and transfer of funds. After the war, I greatly expanded my railroad empire, and turned Tampa into a true city. Who Am I?
