In 1832, Joseph Smith Jr., the Mormon’ the first prophet, predicted the Great War, starting in South Carolina. The combatants’ mutual destruction, God’s purpose would be served, and the Mormon men will grow to form a geographic, political and theocratic “The kingdom of God” to reach the ground. Three decades later, when Smith’s prophecy failed with the end of the American Civil War, the United States is left torn, but intact, Mormons’ Viewing the Conflict—and their passivity in it—It requires palliative review. During the Civil War in Utah, the first full account of the events that occurred in Utah territory during the war, John Maxwell, Gary contrary patriotic mythology Mormon leaders’ version of this dark chapter in the history of the State of Utah. While the civil war spread death, tragedy and grief across the continent, Utah area has remained virtually untouched. Although the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—and his faithful—is proud to praise the service in 1862, the Mormon cavalry company during the Civil War, Maxwell’s study subjects relative insignificant contribution of these soldiers Nauvoo Legion. Active within just ninety days, they patrolled the overland trails and telegraph lines. In addition, Maxwell finds compelling evidence South loyalty among Mormon leaders, despite their claims of a dedicated, long-time loyalty to the Union. Men in the highest level of the hierarchy of Mormon were in close personal contact with federal investigators. In search of sovereignty, Maxwell argues Saints engaged in blatant and treacherous conflict with the authorities of the Union, California and Nevada volunteers and federal policy, repeatedly skirting open war with the US government. The collective memory of this period in American history, indirect, Maxwell argues that the harm was a one-sided point of view. This attractive and long-overdue reassessment finally fills in the gaps, telling the whole story of the Civil War in the Utah territory.
