THE SITUATION: Latest News from the Raiders

It's been that kind of a morning...I saw this and my first thought was, "No, they're not moving AGAIN..." then I realized it was Homer's daily news of the Civil War.

In the “Hotel Life in Richmond” on page 8, the prices seem exhorbitant for the mid-19th century. Is this because the Confederate dollars are losing value, or because the gourmet food supplies are very meager?
