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."
