If you lost money on a financial institution stock can you claim it as a loss?

Yes, if you sold the stock for less than your basis or if there was an event that caused your stock to become worthless during the year. Note that this does not apply if the stock was in a tax-sheltered account such as an IRA or a 401k. If a bank went out of business causing the stock to become worthless, you can claim it as a loss. If the value of the stock went from $200 a share to $.02 a share, it is not yet worthless -- no deduction until you sell it.

What is inflation and how bad was it during the civil war?

Inflation is a rise in prices and a depreciation of the currency. The Confederate dollar was not based on assets, but only on the promise of future victory. Owing to the Union Naval blockade, the South could not import or export, and its economy stagnated. Demand for basic commodities rocketed, causing steady inflation. By 1864, the Confederate dollar was only worth about 5 cents.
