Your link shows that property taxes became widespread in the mid 19th century, which I believe I meant, since the country wasn't established in the mid-18th, but it was in the mid-1800s. A foolish mistake on my part, but to be fair, that has always confused me.
Me being one number off aside, property taxes were widespread in the mid-1800s, and they are widespread now, which was the point I was trying to make (and failed, due to my own error).
