Utah Becomes a State 2 1852LDS church authorities announced in public that some Mormons were practicing plural marriage. The rest of the country was SHOCKED. During the next 38 years, polygamy pretty much kept Utah from gaining statehood. 1856Mormons wrote another “state” constitution. But by then, people in the East were very upset about polygamy. The Republicans said it was barbaric, and a “twin” of slavery. Utah’s representatives decided not to ask for statehood right then. 1857-58President Buchanan removed Brigham Young as governor of Utah Territory. He sent a 2,500-man army and the new governor, Alfred Cumming, to Utah. 1862Another constitutional convention met. They formed a constitution for a state to be named Deseret. Congress rejected the petition for statehood. And then it passed the Morrill Anti-bigamy Act. This Act prohibited polygamy in the territories and disincorporated the LDS church. 1867In January 1867 the Utah legislature petitioned Congress to repeal the Morrill Act and asked again to be let into the Union as a state. Congress did neither. 1869The completion of the transcontinental railroad ended Utah’s isolation and brought in many people who weren’t Mormons. Tensions between Mormons and non-Mormons (“Gentiles”) grew. 1870Gentiles and dissident Mormons organized the Liberal political party. This party opposed the Mormon People’s party, and people usually voted along religious lines. 1872The legislature called for yet another constitutional convention and again asked Congress for statehood for “Deseret.” They asked in vain. 1874Congress passed the Poland Act, which gave authorities more power to successfully prosecute polygamists. |
