The Politics of American Religious Identity: The Seating of Senator Reed Smoot, Mormon Apostle
by Kathleen Flake
On This Page
Description
Between 1901 and 1907, a coalition of Protestant churches sought to expel newly elected Reed Smoot from the Senate for being a Mormon. Here, Kathleen Flake shows how the subsequent investigative hearing ultimately mediated a compromise between Progressive Era Protestantism and Mormonism and resolved the nation's long-standing "Mormon Problem."Tags
