This chapter seeks to understand the conflict between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other Americans through the lens of the political kingdom of God. The Council of Fifty and Joseph Smith's apparent governmental aspirations led to fear and even charges of treason by non-members or former members of the Church. After Joseph Smith's death, many of the resulting splinter churches, including the one led by Brigham Young, established some form of the political kingdom of God.
