For example?

When it started moving troops into the Middle East in 1990, USG commandeered airliners under a public law that allowed them to do so.

Eminent domain is another example, and the creation of National Monuments and designating areas as wetlands subject to DOI regulation is another.

At the risk of overstating the obvious, that was 130 years after the rebellion. Surely you have a more applicable example? Or not?
