The years when this happened, from 1865 to the early 1900s, saw the U.S. encourage entrepreneurs indirectly by limiting government. Slavery was abolished and so was the income tax.

Wait, what?!?!?! The Income Tax was abolished around 1900?!?!?!!

There was an income tax enacted in the 1860s to fund the war. It ended in 1900. A few years later, the progressives reinstituted the income tax via the 16th Amendment.
