No its not. I have no idea what was happening in US in 19th century with taxation, and you, as much smarter example of human being than myself, could gracefully give some historical background as you are the one who started topic.
Prior to the establishment of a federal income tax, taxes were levied at the federal level via tariffs (states varied). So, importers paid the US government a fee on goods which they usually passed along to their customers, mostly rural whites in the south.
The Morrill Tariff was a key reason why the Confederate States of America seceded. Lincoln and his fellow Whigs had been driving for a massive punitive tariff to be leveraged on all foreign goods in order to aid the wealthy jew industrialists who helped make him rich during his years as a dirty corporate attorney. The jew importers in the south, for their part, resisted the tariff because it would hurt their sales.
In the end, it was once again jew vs jew and whites died for it.
