Description
From the sellerThis Mormon 4th of July celebration in Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1841 was one of the city's first major public events after the organization of the Nauvoo Legion and the incorporation of Nauvoo. However, this massive display of civic pride backfired among their non-Mormon neighbors; rather than being reassured by the patriotism, critics viewed the disciplined, thousands-strong Nauvoo Legion and the city’s growing political cohesion as an existential threat.
