I am not going to pick apart your observation or argue your points, BUT
The US imposed income taxes of approx 3.5% in annual incomes more than $800 by the Revenue act of 1861. Thank you Republican Party.
It was repealed in 1872.
In 1913 the US Constitution was amended to allow for a federal income tax not subject to earlier taxing provisions of the Constitution.

Your statement that there were no income taxes snd the income tax was introduced in 1913 is factually incorrect.

BTW, my family arrived in the US during the 1860s and was subject to the original US income tax
