Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the harrowing experiences of the Latter-day Saints, commonly known as Mormons, during their expulsion from Missouri in the late 1830s. Through firsthand accounts and official documents, the author paints a vivid picture of the escalating violence, religious persecution, and political machinations that led to the forced exodus of this community. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a young American nation grappling with issues of religious freedom and frontier justice. The author delves into the complex interplay of religious beliefs, social tensions, and political opportunism that fueled the conflict. This book raises profound questions about the limits of tolerance, the fragility of legal protections, and the human cost of prejudice and violence. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked mob rule and the importance of safeguarding fundamental rights for all citizens. Ultimately, the book's insights into this historical event offer valuable lessons for understanding and combating religious intolerance in any era.
