Summary

We wanted to apologize for some audio issues in this week’s episode. We will try to fix the audio on the upcoming Mormon Battalion episodes. In this episode, we set the context for America at the time of the Mexican-American War. At the time the majority of Americans make their living through farming and westward expansion continues as land is the driver of social standing and monetary wealth. We also discuss both the blessing and curse of saints gathering altogether and look at Nauvoo and Illinois as a whole in 1844.

0:53.5	But in several episodes ago or many episodes in the
0:59.8	first season specifically you would talk about specific things from Latter-day
1:03.8	St. history and that's something that we wanted to talk about today yeah I
1:09.0	apologize to everyone who's sent us other emails that we haven't responded
1:13.6	to. Maybe, you know, we, we literally can't get to all of them. And that's also a good cover
