| The Chart to the right shows the
Annualized Confederate Inflation Rate.
The Annual Inflation Rates are calculated from information provided
by the Richmond Civil War Centennial
Committee on the purchasing power of
Confederate Notes.
The table below shows the actual
Confederate Treasury Note Inflation data that was used to
develop this chart. The method used was to
create an index setting January 1, 1861
equal to 100 and adjusting the following
months to come up with an Inflation index
figure for the first of each succeeding
month by interpolating from surrounding
months if necessary to fill in the
blanks. Note that some months have
additional Inflation data for the 15th of
the month while other months have no data
available. In order to perform the annual
inflation calculations we needed a figure
for the first of each month. So for
example, in order to come up with an
inflation number for June 1, 1862 we had to
interpolate between the May 15th price of
$1.95 and the June 15th price of $2.00
