The cotton tax or levy produced an enormous amount of money for the Federal govt.

Give me some numbers.

The Federal govt in Lincoln’s day was no different than the govt now. Government is government.

Actually it changed with Wilson bringing the Federal Reserve, and then FDR with his socialism, and then LBJ with his War on Poverty, and Carter, Clinton, and Obama with their wars on the private sector. It's gone downhill a lot since 1912.
