quote icon Social Union—As a system which espoused the ideal of ardent individualism, Zion’s covenant society was based upon the principle of social union. A revelation said of the principle of union in its economic expression in Zion “If ye are not one ye are not mine.” John Taylor explained: “We are seeking to establish a oneness, and that oneness under the guidance and direction of the Almighty.” Because such union, based upon true freedom and individualism, was a vital element within Zion’s covenant society, Brigham Young asserted that those who were opposed to it were “opposed to God.”
