ANTEBELLUM FEDERAL REVENUES Public Deposited
The E-Sylum: Volume 5, Number 29, July 14, 2002, Article 16
ANTEBELLUM FEDERAL REVENUES
Nolan Mims writes; "This may not be an appropriate question
for the E-Sylum, but I don't know the answer and I figured
that some of our readers would know. Other than customs
duties, what were the main sources of revenue for the federal
government from its inception until the war between the States?
How, for example, did we pay for the Louisiana Purchase?
Any help would be appreciated."- 2002-07-14
