"M" is for Manifest Destiny

The secret letter is M

This round will concern itself with events that led towards Westward Expansion, from the years 1801 to 1900, on the North American continent but mostly the United States.

Again, M can be a first or last name, but not an article or common object, unless the answer specifically is a title, like "The Battle of Moose jaw"..
