So “Lincoln’s” income tax was never declared unconstitutional.

So no federal income tax had ever been held to be constitutional prior to the 16th amendment. By the way, what court declared the Confederate Government's tariff unconstitutional?

I didn’t say it was. I just pointed out the Confederates had an income tax. Kind of like those 25% tariffs they had. ;~))
