Benjamin Butler was a Union general in the U.S Civil war. He
is one of the first generals appointed by President Abraham Lincoln, and his
first task is to defend the capital Washington DC in case the State of Maryland
seceded from the Union. In 1861, he was tasked to secure Fort Monroe, which
lies on the mouth of the James River and guards the Hampton Roads. Fort Monroe
posed a threat to Richmond, the Confederate Capital. There, Gen. Butler famously
decreed that all escaping slaves that crossed the Union lines would not be
returned to their owners, in defiance of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

- Dawes Act: despite it's not an expansion movement, the Dawes Act break up the Native American tribes and to see them as individuals. However, this act opened space to the settlement of non-natives.
- Homestead Act: this act officialized the westward expansion. The act, which took effect January 1, 1863, granted 160 acres (65 hectares) of unappropriated public lands to anyone who paid a small filing fee and agreed to work on the land and improve it, including by building a residence, over a five-year period.
