Notes
Some authors have argued that America cannot fall before the second coming. However, I see no concrete argument supporting that supposition. In fact, I'm inclined to think that Wilford Woodruff's assertion regarding the destruction of the United States is correct. There seems to be plenty of evidence that the destruction of the United States is probable.
