It recounts how Mormon leaders had petitioned Congress for admission as a state, with territorial status as a “plan B.” It also highlights the key source of Everett's consternation with the proposed name of “Deseret” and his overall suspicion toward religious zealotry and charismatic religious leaders. The chapter talks about Everett's letter of protest to his friend, John C. Winthrop, regarding the Mormon's request for statehood, which illuminates a formative moment in Utah and Mormon history and a crucial moment for the Whig persuasion. It also looks into Everett's constitutional concerns about accommodating the Mormons that stemmed from his lifelong sense of the sacredness of the Union.","PeriodicalId":426031,"journal":{"name":"Contingent Citizens","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121244962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
