The correct answer is:

Inflation was high and supplies were running low.

This is because by the later years of the Civil War, the Confederate government was struggling to provide food, clothing, and other necessities to its troops. This led to widespread discontent and desertion among the Confederate soldiers. Additionally, the Confederacy's economy was heavily dependent on agriculture, and the Union blockade of southern ports severely disrupted trade and prevented the Confederacy from importing necessary goods. These factors weakened the Confederate government and made surrender a more viable option.
