west. most people think the civil war was fought in virginia and south carolina, but it was fought all overbrigham young controlled the railroad and telegraph lines. if he cuts those in utah, lincoln loses the west. brigham young wanted the 1862 polygamy act not open forced so they made a deal. i won't enforce the act, you don't cut the lines. >> you were saying apart from the novel here, you were saying the emergence of lincoln is a 20th century phenomenon? >> very much so. after he died no one wanted to hear the word lincoln. it was not that strong then. it was not that prevalent. the radical republicans in the congress took over. everything kind of went the opposite. everything that happened after lincoln died probably never would have happened if he lived. it would have been a whole different recovery from the war. it was a 20th century phenomenon that began to catch on with lincoln and now he's into the realm of myth. but there's an epigraph in the novel that says the state has the right to leave the union from lincoln. >> he changed his mind. >> yes, he did. >> this myth of lincoln, t
