Re: Would the US have become bankrupt?

Frank, I know what you meant but a new reader may not. Wanted to give you a chance to explain yourself.

I think the tobacco tax and income tax were two new taxes Lincoln came up with. Would have to do more research to know for certain. That brings to mind again something I read once that "the "Civil War" brought more changes to this country than any other period of history, especially in the art of killing each other." I think that was in a museum in Florida.
