alternative history discusion of Deseret

[Major-Tom]

I would imagine that Deseret would have desegregated in the 80's or 90's, maybe allowed interracial marriage around 2003, and that women would have fewer rights than in any other western country but still a lot more rights than in an Islamic theocracy.

Caffeine would probably be illegal or stupidly regulated because it actually is stupidly regulated in present day real world Utah.

It wouldn't be a dystopian hellscape but it would be an extremely un-fun place to live.

Utah; the only state whose ski slopes have just one type of snow.

Stop the desert sarcasm, please! Or the mods will come down YOu may make a desert joke if you also contribute seriously to this moron independent state in this alternative history. The Mormons had they sided with the confederacy and struck with the north was losing on all fronts than they mabey could get a slice of Nevada and most of Idaho during the war.

The Mormons were friendlier to the native American Indians so they could use the Indians to their advantage and would probably be helpful to the Indians. They would probably be recognized in Europe and would send more missionaries and incentives for investment in their nation. They are dynamic people so accomplishments will be made. Mormons generally are pro-immigrant

They could allow pacifist groups incentives to settle, such as Amish, watchtower, and anyone who couldn't immigrate to the major American nations because of immigration restrictions. Jews could be welcomed if a compromise was reached that Jesus and God were separate according to their theology. I think Muslims at one point would be encouraged to come as they can be polamous.

The Morman State at best would last 100 years before collapsing or being annexed

It would be outright annexed at best in the 1870’s. Likely 1850’s.

People should debate this on alternative timelines.com https://alternate-timelines.com/

Alternative history.com might be okay too

In the future I do plan to add a alternative timeline thread for this discussion in time. There would be incentives for non Mormon missionaries to stay in this Mormon nation to spread God’s doctrine of salvation not on works less any man should boast. In fact try to find what they have in come with one another and invite Mormons to a Bible study that is based of the Bible and not the Book of Mormon.


Perhaps the Mormon nation might have a faith based army for Christians members that are not Mormons. I wonder if they Torah would be the nations law book .
