This compact historical volume collects the acts, provisions, and enforcement rules that governed the new direct tax and internal duties during the Civil War era. It presents the language and structure of the law in force, offering a window into how the government planned to assess, collect, and regulate taxes on incomes, manufactures, goods, and more.

Learn how the act defined duties on a wide range of goods and services, from candles and gas to minerals and manufactured products.
See how collectors, assessors, and commissioners were created and funded, with details on salaries and responsibilities.
Explore the procedures for seizures, forfeitures, notices, and hearings that enforced compliance.
