The Mormon Rebellion: America's First Civil War, 1857-1858In 1857 President James Buchanan ordered U.

In 1857 President James Buchanan ordered U.S. troops to Utah to replace Brigham Young as governor and restore order in what the federal government viewed as a territory in rebellion. In this compelling narrative, award-winning authors David L. Bigler and Will Bagley use long-suppressed sources to show that--contrary to common perception--the Mormon rebellion was not the result of Buchanan's "blunder," nor was it a David-and-Goliath tale in which an abused religious minority heroically defied the imperial ambitions of an unjust and tyrannical government. They argue that Mormon leaders had their own far-reaching ambitions and fully intended to establish an independent nation--the Kingdom of God--in the West.

Long overshadowed by the Civil War, the tragic story of this conflict involved a tense and protracted clash pitting Brigham Young's Nauvoo Legion against Colonel Albert Sidney Johnston and the U.S. Army's Utah Expedition. In the end, the conflict between the two armies saw no pitched battles, but in the authors' view, Buchanan's decision to order troops to Utah, his so-called blunder, eventually proved decisive and beneficial for both Mormons and the American republic.

A rich exploration of events and forces that presaged the Civil War, The Mormon Rebellion broadens our understanding of both antebellum America and Utah's frontier theocracy and offers a challenging reinterpretation of a controversial chapter in Mormon annals.

Highly Customizable Modular Wall System
Color: Dark Gray, Size: 2 Panel "I"
The VIVO Modular Wall System is sturdy and easy to assemble. The semi-lightweight panels slide in and out of the modular frame. The panels are made of very strong and thick panels that provide a simple, good-looking room barrier. The dark grey tone of the privacy panels looks good with a multitude of interior decors. This product is suitable for commercial applications, but it can also be used for home use. I tested this product and installed it in my computer lab to create a private computer corner. I work better by having a cubicle area that is free from distractions. The VIVO modular wall system effectively gives me "blinders" so that the rest of my work area is not a distraction anymore.

This Modular Wall System is very nice!
Color: Dark Gray, Size: 2 Panel "I"
This VIVO Modular Wall System, 2 PET Panels, Modern Professional Office Cubicle Dividers, is very nice! It is super easy to set up and individually, they are not too heavy, yet heavy enough to not be knocked over easily. They are very versatile in the way you want to use them. Personally, I want to set a divider for my recording space, and my desk/work space for better efficiency when doing one or the other. It’s also great if you need a backdrop if you do any type of video recording. Beautifully designed wall systems, thanks!

Best choice!
Color: Charcoal Gray, Size: 66" Wide x 70" Tall Without Window
This workstation partition really was a good choice. It took me a bit of time to decide - I was looking for something reliable, noise absorbing, and professional-looking while also being space saving instead of the clunky typical cubicle walls. This was perfect! It successfully created 2 cubicle type units in a room that was anticipated to only be enough room for one cubicle. I am happy with it!

Massive problems with timely shipping and delivery!!!
Color: Grey, Size: 8' Wide x 6'6" Tall
I have purchased three panels at $1300 plus each. The first two came very late, in one shipment; the third in a separate shipment. I have yet to receive the third, despite being present when shipping has twice said the business was closed. The first two were delivered almost a week late after numerous discussions (over four hours with Amazon support in online chat and phone) specifying there is NO WAY the business was closed as it is open 24/7. CAUTION. Further, the video is misleading. The panels are 70 pounds. A 5’2 athletic woman will most likely need assistance to balance and stabilize the panels. The magnetic buttons work IF you can get the panels aligned, which must be a two-person job for a petite individual due to the panel’s 8 foot height. Check reviews thoroughly for the stability feet which can be purchased separately; the recommended sets are plastic and not sturdy. Overall: BEWARE of shipping and delivery drama. Do not expect this product timely. Ensure two people are available if you are not tall. Recommend consideration for a different acoustic panel system. I will most likely be cancelling the panel I have not yet received. The expense is not worth the numerous issues. Good luck.
