My first steps to redeeming Lawful Money are underway, but I need guidance.

I answered your questions. Re-read your posts and you'll see why.

Actually, you haven't answered anything, hence the further questioning.

So far, you are off by 1 year as to the absolute beginning of income taxes in America.
You have cites that don't support what you claim and your cites are without any linkage to sources of anyone to review.
You have yet to substantiate a single point of your assertions.

At this point, I'm unsure if you could find anything on the Revenue Act of 1862.

I've got a feeling you've been wrapping yourself in Internet yarn ....
