In this video, we take a deep dive into how Brigham Young gained control of the Mormon Church following Joseph Smith’s death. Contrary to what many believe, Brigham’s rise to power was far from smooth and was marked by controversy and conflict within the Church itself. We examine the strategies Brigham used to consolidate power, including his claims of priesthood succession, his clash with other church leaders, and the ways he positioned himself as Joseph Smith’s rightful successor. Watch as we unveil the untold story of how power struggles, manipulation, and divine claims shaped the course of Mormonism under Brigham Young’s rule.
