Wilmer McLean. McLean was a farmer near Manassas, Virginia. During the First Battle of Bull Run, in July 1861, a cannon ball passed through his kitchen and there was fighting on his land. McLean realized his neighborhood, about twenty-five miles west of Washington, was likely to see a lot of fighting. He sold his farm and took his large family and moved to what he thought would be a much quieter town farther south in Virginia, called Appomattox. Lee surrendered to Grant in McLean's front parlor in April, 1865.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed into law by President Lyndon Baines Johnson, provided that employers could no longer pay employees different amounts based on race. Presumably this ended pay differences in the white house, as well as elsewhere, though it is possible that the specific job of butlering in the White House began equal pay policies previous to the Act. The Civil Rights Act was amended in 1991 to prevent harassment at work, but none of the 1991 changes pertained to Federal wage differences.
