I was watching C-Span last night and saw an author Weismann who wrote an interesting book about the lincoln. The book was called The Great Tax Wars: From Lincoln to T.R. to Wilson - How the Income Tax Transformed America.

I have yet to read this book but plan on picking it up later today. Of course his argument is well documented with facts instead of feeling, but that doesn't matter when it comes to the War of Northern Aggression apparently. The issue of internal improvements is raised again of course. The connection between the War, Clay, and his American System are covered. What amazes me is that conservatives turn a blind eye to the truth about the origins of the Republican party being the original tax and spend party.

I'm not saying that's necessarily the case now, the parties have flipflopped, but the early Whig/Republicans like abe and Clay would put Democrats today to shame

Let me know what it says about the confederate income tax.
