I'm continually astounded by you liberal's ignorance of history. By Lincoln's time in office, Utah, California, Arizona, New Mexico territories had long been US territory. Mormon's had first started moving west of the Rockies in 1847 during the war with Mexico. That was a year after the US enlisted a Mormon battalion to march from Council Bluffs Iowa to San Diego CA and seize the territory in between for the US. The battalion chased Mexican soldiers out of Tucson, Arizona but suffered no casualties. An interesting footnote - the Mormon battalion was guided by Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, the son of Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition.
