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.

dezoksy [38]

did not promote the use of aggressive action.

The Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee or SNCC was formed as a peaceful civil rights organization by Ella Baker to bring young blacks into the movement.

SNCC organized younger blacks into a group to bring about social change using peaceful protest. The group organized the Freedom Rides where blacks challenged the segregation laws for buses. The group also worked to register blacks to vote. Despite the peaceful beginnings, SNCC came under the leadership of Stokely Carmichael in 1966 who began to speak of "black power" turning SNCC into a more militant group which accepted violence as a method of self-defense.
