it lmited supply of goods caused prices to rise. The worst affected was the south. They depended greatly on exports to Britain which could not happen due to the Union's Operation Anaconda,,, a full naval blockade of the south. They basicaally had to rely on blockade runners in order to get goods to Bitain and receive supplies.
As the US Civil War progressed, the Confederate dollar began to lose its value. Thus more bills and government notes were issued and there was no gold or silver to back them up . Inflation became a serious problem for the South. In the North, the government ran up many costs to fund the war, however, they had gold and silver reserves to back up the dollar. There was less monetary problems in the North, if at all.

Inflation is constantly used in all wars since there are less men to work for the companies.
Question Why did inflation occur in both the North and the South during the Civil War?
The statement that correctly explains economic conditions in the South during the Civil War was that they were very poor and relied heavily on agriculture. This greatly contrasted the North which was more industry oriented.
The south was not allowed to import or export any goods during this blockade which lasted most of the Civil War.
For all practical purposes, the Northern states at the beginning of the US Civil War was highly industrialized in comparison to the South. The North also enjoyed crop yielding land far enough away from threats by Confederate forces. The North had an extensive railway system and ship building capacity that was a strength for its economy. In the South, cotton and tobacco crops were the mainstay of its economy. The South was also heavily dependent economically on slave labor. This was not the case in the North, except for the slave holding Union border states.
The leading differences between the North and the South leading towards the US Civil War was their respective economies. The North was rapidly expanding manufacturing while the South was primarily an agricultural economy. Also, the Southern economy was driven by slaves. For the most part the North had few slaves at all.
During the Civil War, the men were busy fighting. The South sold their cotton to England and the Union was blockading the coast to prevent that. Also General Sherman burned everything in his path to prevent the South from having food or supplies to fight. The South was devastated by the war.
