Summary

In this podcast we answer some questions posed by listeners about sources covering the era. This leads into a discussion of American ideologies and how they will eventually both be held by believing members and used as a justification for violence enacted against the Saints, especially religious freedom. Colonies of Virginia and Massachusetts Bay are discussed, probably at too much length. If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: [email protected]

0:00.0	Welcome to the Standard of Truth podcast, hosted by historian Dr. Garrett Dirkmont,
0:08.0	where we explore the early days of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

1:00.8	access to that information to verify his work? Thanks, Scott. First, Scott, thanks for not mentioning
1:08.2	me. I really appreciate that. Garrett, your answer.
1:10.8	You seem to have touched a nerve.
1:12.3	No, no, no, no.
1:13.3	If everyone would email in the future addressing only Richard, I think that would help.
1:18.5	That's, it's all that I'm asking.

1:27.8	Oh, absolutely.
