Ok I'd been humming and hawing over creating this thread, but seeing the interest on the LDS historical claims thread, it feels like strike while the iron is hot. Mormonism might be viewed (by those who don't believe in its historical claims) as a religion based around an alternate history...

If the LDS / Mormon Church was never founded, and there wasn't another similar religion to replace it, what effects would this have on America and westward settlement and expansion? Without mormons moving out west to Utah how would it and other parts of the Southwest develop? How would the...

Deseret script was a phenomic alphabet developed by Brigham Young and early Mormon pioneers in 1847. This effort was in the midst of attempts to revamp the latin Alphabet to make it more consistent- to remove words like though, Ouija, etc. OTL Deseret script died out with the death of Brigham...

With a POD at 1900 make America be a Mormon majority country.

Hello all, So, this is a bit of a weird one. Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, ran for President of the United States in 1844. Now, there is little chance that he could have won in real life -- Mormons were extremely unpopular among mainstream US Protestants, and Smith and his followers had...

Exactly as the title says, what are some other places following the Mormon expulsion from Nauvoo Illinois in 1846 that the Mormon's could've gone to and settled as the center of their faith.

So, let us assume that Mexico manages to pull a surprise victory, or something occurs in Washington which makes the idea of going to war with Mexico undesirable, point is Mexico keeps its land, case closed. Now let's also assume that Mormon history up to this point had remained the same, and the...

In our world the Mormons camped out in Nebraska over winter but left and continued on to Utah. What if they stayed? Would Mormon numbers be greater in a more fruitful land? Would they conflict with Gentiles? Would they pick a side in the Civil War?

I've read about the Freiberg Germany Temple in the former East Germany, which was established for the Mormon (Latter-Day Saints) community of East Germany (who were present in Germany since the 19th century), so they wouldn't have to apply for a visa and visit the West to appear in a Mormon...

As we all know, in 1844, members of an anti-Mormon mob stormed Joseph Smith's Carthage Jail cell, killing his brother and appointed successor Hyrum Smith almost immediately. However, fortunately for the Mormons, their founder survived to complete the journey to Texas--of course, their home...

So For those who have read Southern victory American Front, Walk in Hell, and Breakthroughs, After Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated, and World war I started, America in the Central Powers, with the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian empire, along with later the Ottoman empire, and Bulgarian...

Hello collective AH creators and admirers! I am creating my first ongoing AH timeline, and I will try to post regularly. The premise regards Mormonism and its effect on the development of the United States. ITT the POD is that Joseph Smith, prophet of the LDS Church, does not introduce polygamy...

It is 1852, Salt Lake City. Brigham Young is speaking out endorsing the racist interpretation of the "Mark of Cain" before a congregation. As he speaks, the sound of thunder echoes through the temple; there is a flash of light, a bolt of lightning, and out of the rupture emerges a man in strange...

As it say on the title, how does Utah, the US, and the wider world turn without the Mormons and their faith? (Joseph Smith either died young, does not found Mormonism, or the Mormons fell apart with Smith's death.)

A bitterness seemed to envelop the air. The sky was covered in shapeless clouds, eager to rain upon the city. As he stepped into the car and placed himself on the leather seats, a young man - young for his 50's, anyway - looked upon this dreary scene and remarked. "Not the greatest of weather,"...
