Answer:

D. doubts about the value of its currency

Step-by-step explanation:

During the war, the Confederacy lacked the money to pay for the expenses and decided to print money. Not only them, but the States followed the same idea, making the inflation go up to 9000%. Even if they had won the war, the Confederacy would most likely colapse economically.
