Now that is interesting. The more I learn about the Civil War (like the 3rd army of the west that refused to fight) the more I believe the truth is covered up.
Were you also aware that during the Civil war the largest US military base/camp was built in the territory that would become Utah? I will need to drive out to Tooele again to get more info about that.
I was floored when I learned the largest army was sent here to fight the "Mormon Problem" after they offered individual liberty (ie anti slave) ideas in multiple states. Seeing government was the problem the left the union & settled unsettled territory only to be chased by big government & the new settlers refused to fight the army that was sent. Something about pies, being neighborly, etc...
The fights just didn't happen on a large scale. Many local leaders were taken & roughed up, though the Christians who fled federal control simply wanted to emulate the prince of peace as they understood his teachings.
It is pretty clear this war for individual liberty has been going on for far longer than any of us realize.
