Original Note:
Although the federal income tax did not become law until 1913, there were other federal taxes, primarily excise taxes, levied to fund the federal government. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/tax/10/history-taxes.asp Three states adopted state income taxes before 1913: Hawaii in 1901, Wisconsin in 1911, and Mississippi in 1912. https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/when-did-your-state-adopt-its-income-tax/
