Declarations of Interdependence: Why the Latter-day Saints Just Can't Quit the United States

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is often identified as one of the most successful homegrown religions in American history. And yet the Mormon tradition, in all its expressions, has retained a complicated relationship with the country that aided in its development. This presentation traces the long, topsy-turvy, and evolving saga including the United States and its most famous local faith, and will focus on particular moments when notions of patriotism, allegiance, and citizenship took on enhanced significance.
