Smith, and secured a city See also:charter in 184o. Four years later its See also:population was about 15,000, and a large Mormon See also:temple had been built, but See also:internal dissensions arose, "See also:gentile" hostility was aroused, the charter of Nauvoo was revoked in 1845, two of the leaders, Joseph Smith and his See also:brother Hyrum, were killed at See also:Carthage, the county-seat, by a See also:mob, and in 1846 the See also:sect was driven from the See also:state. Traces of Mormonism, however, still remain in the ruins of the temple and the names of several of the streets. Three years after the See also:expulsion of the Mormons Nauvoo was occupied by the remnant (some 250) of a See also:colony of See also:French communists, the Icarians, who had come out under the leadership of See also:Etienne See also:Cabet (q.v.). For a few years the colony prospered, and by 1855 its membership had doubled. It was governed under a constitution, drafted by Cabet, which vested the legislative authority in a See also:general See also:assembly composed of all the See also:males twenty years of See also:age or over and the administrative authority in a See also:board of six See also:directors, three of whom were elected every six months for a See also:term of one See also:year. Each See also:family occupied its own See also:home, but See also:property was held in See also:common, all See also:ate at the common table, and the See also:children were taught in the community school. In See also:December 1855 Cabet proposed a revision of the constitution to give him greater authority. This resulted in rending the colony into two irreconcilable factions, and in See also:October 1856 Cabet with the minority (172) withdrew to St See also:- LOUIS

time before this separation a few members of the colony removed to the vicinity of Cloverdale, Sonoma county, See also:California, and here most of the members of the Young Party joined them See also:early in 1884 in forming the Icaria-Speranza Community. This society tried a See also:government quite different from that first adopted at Nauvoo, but it ceased to exist after about three years. The Old Party also adopted a new constitution, but it too was dissolved in 1895.
