Summary

In this episode we discuss the spark of the violent reaction of Missourians toward Latter-day Saints in Jackson County in 1833. In particular, we discuss the article in the Church’s local newspaper, The Evening and the Morning Star, which was intended to help free black members navigate the anti black laws of Missouri as they immigrated to the city of Zion. The reaction of the anti black, anti Mormon Missourians is immediate and violent. Link to the W. W. Phelps article: https://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/digital/collection/NCMP1820-1846/id/5850/ If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: [email protected]
