Inflation was worse in the Confederacy than in the Union primarily due to the Confederacy's reliance on printing money to finance the war, leading to a devaluation of its currency. The South's economy was less diversified and more reliant on agriculture, making it vulnerable to disruptions caused by the war and blockades. Additionally, the Union had greater industrial capacity and access to resources, allowing it to maintain a more stable economy and better control inflation. As a result, the Confederacy faced skyrocketing prices and a collapse in the value of its currency.

Taxation was also attempted, but it was less effective due to the economic challenges faced by the Southern states.
