Excerpt from History of the Late Persecution Inflicted by the State of Missouri Upon the Mormons I had paid the forfeit due to crime. Instead of being chosen ambassadors of the High, would have been inmates at solitary cells. But their con due stamps their characters in their true colors. More than a year since it was ascertained that they had been tampering with our slaves, and endeavoring to sow dissensions and to raise seditious amongst them. Of this their Mormon leaders were informed, and said that they would deal with any of their members who should 'again in like case offend. But how specious are appearances In a late number of the Star, published in Independence by the leaders'ofthis sect, there is an articleinviting free negroes and mulattoes from other states to become Mormons tind remove and settle among us. This exhibitsthcm in still more odious colors. It manifests a desire on the part'of their society to in ict 'onour society an injury that they knew would be to us insupportable, and one bf the surest means of driving us from the county; for it would requirejnone of, the su pernatural gifts that they pretend to, to see that the introduction ofisuch a castamong us would corrupt our blacks, and instigate them to bloodshed.

The 1838 Mormon War in Missouri
Author: Stephen C. LeSueurPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
In the summer and fall of 1838, animosity between Mormons and their neighbors in western Missouri erupted into an armed conflict known as the Mormon War. The conflict continued until early November, when the outnumbered Mormons surrendered and agreed to leave the state. In this major new interpretation of those events, LeSueur argues that while a number of prejudices and fears stimulated the opposition of Missourians to their Mormon neighbors, Mormon militancy contributed greatly to the animosity between them. Prejudice and poor judgment characterized leaders on both sides of the struggle. In addition, LeSueur views the conflict as an expression of attitudes and beliefs that have fostered a vigilante tradition in the United States. The willingness of both Missourians and Mormons to adopt extralegal measures to protect and enforce community values led to the breakdown of civil control and to open warfare in northwestern Missouri.
The Mormon People
Author: Matthew BowmanPublisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
“From one of the brightest of the new generation of Mormon-studies scholars comes a crisp, engaging account of the religion’s history.”—The Wall Street Journal With Mormonism on the nation’s radar as never before, religious historian Matthew Bowman has written an essential book that pulls back the curtain on more than 180 years of Mormon history and doctrine. He recounts the church’s origins and explains how the Mormon vision has evolved—and with it the esteem in which Mormons have been held in the eyes of their countrymen. Admired on the one hand as hardworking paragons of family values, Mormons have also been derided as oddballs and persecuted as polygamists, heretics, and zealots. The place of Mormonism in public life continues to generate heated debate, yet the faith has never been more popular. One of the fastest-growing religions in the world, it retains an uneasy sense of its relationship with the main line of American culture. Mormons will surely play an even greater role in American civic life in the years ahead. The Mormon People comes as a vital addition to the corpus of American religious history—a frank and balanced demystification of a faith that remains a mystery for many. “Fascinating and fair-minded . . . a sweeping soup-to-nuts primer on Mormonism.”—The Boston Globe “A cogent, judicious, and important account of a faith that has been an important element in American history but remained surprisingly misunderstood.”—Michael Beschloss “A thorough, stimulating rendering of the Mormon past and present.”—Kirkus Reviews “[A] smart, lucid history.”—Tom Brokaw
