Madison explains the revelation the Prophet Joseph Smith had in 1832 concerning the beginning of the Civil War in the United States. Madison explains that following his Christmas-day prayer, Joseph Smith prophesied that the Civil War would begin with the rebellion of South Carolina. Madison also emphasized the reaction the Saints had to this prophecy, stating that following the prophecy, there was an increase in "Millennial Fervor" among the Saints.
