The income tax during the Civil War was initiated by the United States government under President Abraham Lincoln in 1861. The tax was introduced as a temporary measure to help finance the war effort. It was the first income tax imposed on citizens, with rates set based on income levels. The tax was later repealed in 1872 but set the stage for future income tax legislation.
