CIVIL WAR BLOOD TAX

The Civil War was caused by Northern slavery against the South. The South was paying 75% of the nation’s taxes which was a holdover from the War of 1812. The tax was never repealed.

Taxes get repealed by blood or poverty.

Fake history. Imports were taxed. Wealthy Southern slaveowners thought that because their plantations produced a large share of the country's exports that they were paying all those taxes, but it doesn't work that way. Apple, Microsoft and Disney are responsible for a lot of our exports, but when you buy a product from overseas, you pay the tax, not them.

The tax was never repealed.

Tariffs in the 19th century went up and down, depending on which party was in power. Taxes on imports changed over time but weren't completely abolished because they were one of the main ways government paid for itself.
