Yesterday’s

(C) Because of Deserets religious connotations
Brigham
hoped that the State of Deseret would join the United States under that name,

politicians objected to the name because of its religious connotations. By the
1870s, the Saints finally gave up the quest and agreed to the name of Utah,
mandated by Washington.
