But was the Civil War income tax declared unconstitutional?

So your argument is that because the SCOTUS lacked the guts to hear a case before the income tax was repealed, it was therefore Constitutional?....even though they ruled other attempts to impose an income tax unconstitutional? That's like saying the 2020 election was not fraudulent since the federal courts lacked the guts to hear a case on the merits.

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

and I pointed out that in a war of national survival any government will impose taxes, seize assets, etc even if it is unconstitutional. The fact that the Confederate government did so while confronted with a major war does not mean the Confederate Constitution did not in fact set a 10% limit on tariffs or that the Southern states did not want a very low tariff because that suited their export-import based economy.

I never said that. I simply asked when the court found the Civil War income tax unconstitutional.
