Original Note:
The revenue act of 1862 was created to fund the Civil War. It isn't the same as modern day income tax. Abraham Lincoln paid income taxes throughout the Civil War, but after his death, The Treasury returned all his payments to his estate. https://www.taxnotes.com/tax-history-project/tax-history-abraham-lincoln-paid-income-taxes-he-didnt-have/2013/07/08/f4x8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_Act_of_1862
