1861

In 1861, the U.S. financial system shifted to a war footing, marked by high debt ($65 million+), the first federal income tax (3% on incomes over $800, Revenue Act of 1861), and the introduction of paper "Demand Notes" to fund the conflict. Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase struggled with financing as bond sales lagged, leading to increased reliance on borrowing and the eventual creation of a national banking system.
