The most egregious aspect of this murder was, of course, the violation of faith by those to whom Smith surrendered on promise of safe conduct.
Ironically, 15 years later his followers similarly murdered, at Mountain Meadows, those who had surrendered to them trusting in their good faith. But the Mormons murdered 120 men, women and children.
You’ve suprised me with this reply!
so because smith was murdered, it was justifable to murder 120+ men, women and children in cold blood and to this day deny their surviving family members from erecting a memorial to their lives and death.
