The Mormon War by Brandon G. Kinney
In
The Mormon War: Zion and the Missouri Extermination Order of 1838,
Brandon G. Kinney unravels the fascinnating series of events that led
to a religious and ideological war of both blood and words. The Mormon
War is not only a lesson in America's struggle with prejudice, it
challenged the protection afforded by the First Amendment, forshadowed
the partisan violence over slavery and states' rights that would erupt
across Missouri and Kansas - and ultimately the Civil War - and led to
the unexpected settlement of a vast area of the West as a Mormon
homeland. By tracing the life of Joseph Smith, Jr. and his quest for
Zion, the author contends that the religion he founded was destined for
conflict - both internal and external - in his lifetime, due to his
aspirations and revelations on morality, politics, and the future of
the United States and the world.
