The violence that marked the declining years of short-lived Mormon Nauvoo is explained in terms of its relationship to the Illinois frontier. The roots of the conflict which resulted in the forced expulsion of the Mormons from Nauvoo lay in the ultimate values prized by the Mormon and non-Mormon communities. Although the two communities had much in common ideologically, theocratic authoritarianism of the Mormons and the democratic equalitarian values of the non-Mormons conflicted. He details the actions of the dissenting schismatic reformist church in Nauvoo which culminated in the "Expositor" affair. At the root of the violence was a clash of values. He depicts Gov. Ford as having the only rationale perspective in this incident, decrying with equal measure the constitutional violations connected with the "Expositor" affair and the subsequent mob violence of the non-Mormons.
