Original Note:
The US government, prior to 1913, funded itself mainly through excise taxes, tariffs, customs duties, and public land sales. The scale & complexity of government functions and infrastructure have evolved since then, necessitating funding through various means, including taxes. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/tax/10/history-taxes.asp
