The relationship between early Mormons and the United States was
marked by anxiety and hostility, heightened over the course of the
nineteenth century by the assassination of Mormon leaders, the
Saints' exile from Missouri and Illinois, the military occupation
of the Utah territory, and the national crusade against those who
practiced plural marriage. Nineteenth-century Latter-day Saints
looked forward to apocalyptic events that would unseat corrupt
governments across the globe, particularly the tyrannical
government of the United States. The infamous "White Horse
Prophecy" referred to this coming American apocalypse as "a
terrible revolution... in the land of America, such as has never
been seen before; for the land will be literally left without a
supreme government." Mormons envisioned divine deliverance by way
of plagues, natural disasters, foreign invasions, American Indian
raids, slave uprisings, or civil war unleashed on American cities
and American people. For the Saints, these violent images promised
a national rebirth that would vouchsafe the protections of the
United States Constitution and end their oppression. In Terrible
Revolution, Christopher James Blythe examines apocalypticism across
the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
particularly as it took shape in the writings and visions of the
laity. The responses of the church hierarchy to apocalyptic lay
prophecies promoted their own form of separatist nationalism during
the nineteenth century. Yet, after Utah obtained statehood, as the
church sought to assimilate to national religious norms, these same
leaders sought to lessen the tensions between themselves and
American political and cultural powers. As a result, visions of a
violent end to the nation became a liability to disavow and
regulate. Ultimately, Blythe argues that the visionary world of
early Mormonism, with its apocalyptic emphases, continued in the
church's mainstream culture in modified forms but continued to
maintain separatist radical forms at the level of folk-belief.
