Original Note:
The Revenue Act of 1861 imposed a federal income tax in the US. This was superseded in 1862 by a progressive federal tax until 1872. A tax was again levied in 1894 but the mechanism used but not federal taxation itself was ruled unconstitutional. https://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llsl&fileName=012/llsl012.db&recNum=323 https://web.archive.org/web/20081206075659/http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/D/1876-1900/reform/pollock.htm
