Maybe southern troops were, in general, willing to endure more hardships or fight a little harder because they felt they had more personally at stake than most northern troops. The southern army certainly had generally much better battlefield leadership. The southern troops themselves had a lot of respect for Yankees from the midwestern states, who tended to be farm boys just like them, and equally hard to handle.

Why was inflation worse in the confederacy than the union?

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.
