During the Civil War, the federal government, particularly the U.S. Department of the Treasury, controlled most of the nation's money. The Union established a national banking system to help finance the war, which standardized currency and facilitated the issuance of government bonds. In contrast, the Confederacy struggled with financial management, relying heavily on inflation and printing money, which ultimately led to economic instability.
During the Civil War, the North controlled the majority of the nation's financial resources. The Union had a more developed industrial economy, allowing it to produce goods and munitions at a much higher rate than the South. Additionally, the North had better access to banking institutions and established a more extensive system of taxation, which further solidified its financial advantage. In contrast, the South struggled with inflation and a lack of resources, leading to significant economic difficulties.

Confederate money became worthless during the Civil War because the Confederate government printed too much of it, causing hyperinflation and a loss of confidence in its value.
