IC history professor publishes chapter on Mormon disunion        

After participating in an international conference in 2017 in Plymouth, England, conference organizers invited Pearl Ponce, associate professor and chair of the Department of History, to contribute to “Union and Disunion in the Nineteenth Century,” published in December 2019 by Routledge.

Ponce’s chapter, entitled “Attempting disunion: Mutable borders and the Mormon experience with the United States, 1846–1858,” investigates what happened when the Mormons, seeking
to escape prejudice, persecution and anti-Mormon violence, left the United States to settle in what was then Mexico. Within two months of settling around the Great Salt Lake Basin, war between the United States and
Mexico broke out, and in the treaty that ended the war, the United States subsumed a great swath of territory, including the Mormon settlements, in the West.  This work looks at the ways in which the Mormons attempted to manage their forced reunion.
