Abstract There is an inexact rule of symmetry in certain kinds of critical overview, by which identities, as they find their cultural expressions, tend to match and answer each other. Thus, if Seamus Heaney is found to represent especially one model of identity in Northern Ireland, which could be called either Irish or Catholic, the full meaning of this representation comes with cultural understanding of the other identity, which might be called either Ulster Scots or Protestant.

Abstract Race discrimination was such an ordinary part of life in the early nineteenth century that the Court’s cases involving American Indians and African Americans concerned the details of how discrimination would be implemented, not the lawfulness of discrimination itself. In Johnson v. M’Intosh (1823), the Court held that Indians did not own their land but merely had a right to occupy it until it was taken from them by the federal government, while in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), the Court held that Indian tribes lacked the sovereignty possessed by settler governments. In cases involving slavery, including Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), the Court took a broad view of the southern states’ authority over slaves, and a narrow view of the power of the northern states and the federal government to curtail the rights of slaveowners.

Abstract Brigham Young learns of the attack on Fort Limhi, dashing his hopes that Native American tribes would side with the Mormons against the troops. This event may have contributed to a more conciliatory attitude on his part. After his meeting with Mormon leaders, Thomas L. Kane travels to Camp Scott, where he convinces Governor Alfred Cumming to come to Salt Lake City to meet with Young, against the warning of recently breveted General Albert Sidney Johnston. Though Cumming is begrudgingly accepted as governor by the people of Utah, while Cumming is away, Judge Delana Eckles indicts Young and others for treason for resisting the U.S. troops. Cumming and Thomas L. Kane begin a journey to southern Utah to investigate the Mountain Meadows Massacre, but their journey is cut short when Kane receives word that his father has unexpectedly died. Kane and Cumming return to Salt Lake City upon hearing the news.
