Who gives a rat’s ass about the Nauvoo Expositor? (1844) Is that relevant to why this church was burned? Of course not. That’s the problem with religious bigots...they can’t see through anything but their twisted pitiful lens...pathetic...magritte

What I find amazing is that before the Nauvoo Expositor was destoryed the same things happen to the LDS printing press the mob came in and destoryed the press and tared and feather someone or some who were in the office at the time!

Printing in Missouri 1832
The Evening and Morning Star was the first Latter Day Saint periodical. It was initially published in a printing office operated by William Wines Phelps in Independence, Missouri beginning in June, 1832 until the office was destroyed by a mob on 20 July 1833, after the Star published a discussion[2] of U.S. and Missouri laws regarding slavery, African-Americans, and mixed-raced Americans. Pro-slavery Missourians responded with an outraged “Manifesto of the Mob,” [3], in which Mormons were decried as “...deluded fanatics, or weak and designing knaves...” and so forth. The mob also destroyed numerous uncompleted copies of the Book of Commandments.
