AHC: Post-Statehood Utah Independence.

I'd like to offer a challenge to Post-1900ers. Make the state of Utah go independent after 1900, or at least have a credible independence/separatist movement.

No Turtledove chicanery with this, though. Mormon jihadists are not how Utah should go independent.

But I digress. Any PoD after 1900, or even simply after the 1896 statehood will do.
 
well I don't think there could be any Utah POD, there is of course Communist USA in the 1930s that tries to crush religion, or Nuclear War leading to general radicalization in America that gets Utah to form a state around the Church, but nothing small...

Short of the disintigration of the Union or the adoption by the Federal government of virulently anti-Morman statutes the chances of this coming to pass are between zero and nil.
 
The Mormons' vociferously pro-American turn had already started as of the Spanish-American War.

Lack of statehood was the major grievance and that's already assuaged.

In my TL they go very far to the left but still... Independence is a long way to go...
