What did the union government tax in order to help make the cost of the war

History

Pavel [41]2 years ago

It was called the Battle field tax.


The tax was introduced in 1861 by Saloman Chase, the treasury secretary, but it was not seriously enforced. The next year, Abraham Lincoln put some teeth in the bill by signing a bill that was ratified after some debate by the ways and means committee. This was imposed and it was collected. It became the core of the income tax law. The actual bill was repealed in 1872 (it was declared unconstitutional) , but the idea remained.


The Confederacy did the same thing, Americans by then were used to paying an income tax, so the idea was never seriously challenged again.


Governments have only 2 ways of dealing with money: they can increase taxes or they can cut spending. No government likes to do the latter, but they, in theory, don't like doing the former. Eventually they just raise taxes and increase spending. That's when you know a country is in trouble morally.

What does the photo below tell you about how huge the attack was, and what long-terms effects would survivors possibly have duri
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

PTSD, fear

Explanation:

Based on just the picture you can tell that there will be long-term mental effects based on the fear they are clearly experiencing and what they may have seen to get them into that state. You can see how huge the attack was, not only by the amount of smoke spreading and the amount of people running, but by the people seen scared and running from the scene despite already having distance from it
