Mormons were the target of a massacre that was never prosecuted and an extermination order by a governor of Missouri in 1838. Mormonism's founder was lynched by Protestants. I'd say there was plenty of sectarian violence to go around, back in the day.

I see you have been given some FALSE information.

One, JS did NOT get 'lynched'.
He had a GUN smuggled in to his cell in jail, and he died from bullet wounds while using that gun to shoot at folks.

Two, if their really WAS an 'extermination order', then perhaps you could explain why so many MORMONs CHOSE to stay in Missouri and NOT flee to the West with BY?

They actually PROSPERED there and were heir to all of the property that the other Mormons left behind.
