His view generally was a theocratic one, meaning that all political/ legal/ moral decisions should be made by God (or in his absence, some appointee on Earth). Brigham Young did not support the American political parties of the day, and after arrival in Utah the Mormons created their own political party with his support. He generally disliked the US Government, but honored America's rich heritage. For his time, he was quite progressive when it came to women's rights, and encouraged women to gain a college education and enter the workplace. By today's standards, he was quite racist, but his opinions were common with many white men of his time. He also strongly believed in freedom of belief - he preached that we should not meddle in the affairs of others, and that others should not interfere with his. He might be compared to today's Libertarians, although more theocratic than most.
