FICA was the result of the Social Security Act of 1935, proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The program began collecting taxes and paying benefits in 1937. In 1939, FICA was amended to include widows and orphans of working spouses, as well as elderly people who had not paid into the system.

Was Lincoln the president when he started the civil war?

Lincoln was president when the Civil War started and towards the end before he was assassinated, but it's not entirely accurate to say that Lincoln "started" the war. It was caused fundamentally by civil unrest between the north and south of the U.S. The secessionists fired the first shots, at Fort Sumter.


What was Lincoln's main reason that the civil war started?

Because a whole lot of states had broken away from the country of which he had just been elected President.
