How did Utah become part of the us?

Answer 1

The Mormon Religion was founded by Christ, who brought light back into the world when He proclaimed His gospel just as he had to the prophets of old like Abraham, Isaac, and Moses.The original church that Christ restored began to fade away.When God selected a 14-year-old boy, Joseph Smith, in 1820 as His messenger, most people refused to listen. Joseph Smith lived in the United States, which was the only country to proclaim religious freedom at the time.Joseph Smith still felt confused as to which Christian church he should join. He turned to The Bible for guidance. He read, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" (James 1:5). With simple faith he decided to do just that. In the spring of 1820 he went to a nearby grove of trees and knelt in prayer. In his vision God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared. The Savior told Joseph not to join any of the churches because they didn't have the fullness of truth or the authority to baptize and perform other saving ordinances. This vision marked the beginning of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ to the earth, which God authorized to be established 10-years later by a wiser, heaven-tutored Joseph Smith, once again allowing everyone to receive the joy and blessings that come from living it.

After the war with Mexico, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ceded the land that is now Utah to the United States. The Mormons tried for years to get Utah admitted to the Union, but failed each time, due to the practice of polygamy. Once Utah delegates framed a constitution banning polygamy, Utah was admitted as the 45th state on January 4, 1896.
