You mean the theft of the Mormon’s land? Or the Extermination order?

but most of the anti’s are ignorant and try to focus on polygamy in Missouri.

I meant the Mormon behavior that led to the extermination order. The taking of LDS land was done AFTER the extermination order which was after the LDS assassination attempt on Boggs. The theft of non-moromon goods and cattle by the LDS came before that even.

Both sides are guilty, but the LDS aggravated the situation and in many ways contributed to their being run out of MO.

Show me some sources where “anti’s” FOCUS on polygamy in MO. It is not a focus, although I can see it being a MINOR factor (since women were leaving their husbands to become plural wives).

You aren't very well informed are you? Have you forgotten that the anti Mormon vigilantes started it by driving the Mormons from Jackson County (and not allowing them to vote) and tried to restrict the Mormons to Caldwell county. They also never paid for the land they stole from the Mormons in Jackson County. This was years prior to their land being stolen when they were forced out under the extermination order.

Both sides are guilty, but the LDS aggravated the situation and in many ways contributed to their being run out of MO.

Nothing like blaming the victims, is there?
