I don’t think I’ve read anywhere about Mormons being involved black lynchings. Why aren’t the Pubies constantly reminding the sheeple that the Dems were the party against civil rights.

Well, think about it...such lynchings tended to occur where blacks lived...

How white was Utah (territory & state)? Pretty white...a few were slaves during Utah's territory days...(why would you hang your so-called 'property'?)

Mormons deliberately forged their own isolated, insulated communities thruout the 1840s & beyond...they alone were dictating social dynamics...allowing themm to continue practicing polygamy into the 20th century...

Lynchings were mostly about crime, not race, the racial percentages were pretty close to crime statistics today.
