This article is S. George Ellsworth's 1963 Statehood Day address, and it discusses the unnecessary delay in granting Utah statehood that resulted from the differences between Latter-day Saints and non-members. The religious beliefs of the Church affected Saints' ideas about politics, education, immigration, and polygamy, and this led to conflict between the Latter-day Saints, who were a minority in the United States but a majority in Utah, and non-members, who were a majority in the United States but a minority in Utah. The article describes the persecutions faced by members of the Church as well as the sacrifices Utah made to become a state.
