EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history, depicting the social and political tensions surrounding polygamy among Mormons in 1883. The image showcases an armed Uncle Sam, symbolizing the federal government, striding on stilts towards the iconic Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. This exaggerated portrayal represents the enforcement of the Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1882, which aimed to combat polygamy by declaring it a felony and revoking polygamists' right to vote. The cartoon-like illustration from an American newspaper conveys both humor and criticism as it portrays Uncle Sam towering over the tabernacle like a vigilant guardian. The use of stilts emphasizes his authority while highlighting the drastic measures taken to suppress this controversial practice within Mormon communities. Beyond its artistic value, this image serves as a reminder of historical discrimination against religious groups and their practices. It reflects society's struggle to reconcile religious freedom with societal norms during that era. By capturing this pivotal moment when laws were enacted to curb polygamy, we are prompted to reflect on how our understanding of personal liberties has evolved over time. As we examine this photograph today, it offers us insight into America's complex past while encouraging dialogue about issues such as religious tolerance, individual rights, and cultural diversity that continue to shape our present-day society.
