The machinery of control
Track 11 — King and Lawgiver
Prophet. Mayor. General. Presidential candidate. “We will not acknowledge any man as king or lawgiver to the church. Christ is our only king.”
Track 12 — The Inquisition
April 18th. A council called in secret. Tried, condemned, and cut off. They never knew until it was done. Our law condemns no man until he is heard.
Track 13 — Habeas Corpus
Fugitives fled to Nauvoo and found protection. The Mayor’s court overruled federal warrants. “A sink of refuge for every offender who can carry in spoils enough to buy protection.”
