This chapter focuses on the role of Thomas L. Kane in mediating a truce between federal officials and Mormon leaders in the so-called Utah War. It explains that President James Buchanan dispatched an army with the limited goals of replacing Brigham Young as governor of Utah and compelling the Saints' submission to national power. It contends that while the truce helped preserve peace in Utah, the question of the boundaries of acceptable religious dissent in the U.S. remained unresolved.
