Why did Southerners have to resort to bartering and trading after the civil war?

-The US dollar was unacceptable in the South
- Confederate currency was worthless
- The South burned all currency in an act of defiance against the North
- The North burned all currency in a hostile act against the South

Hi! Sorry that this answers pretty late but it's because "Confederate currency was worthless". Hope I helped!

After the Civil War, Confederate currency was worthless and the economy was destroyed, so the barter system was utilized for basic necessities.
