Haun's Mill Massacre?

people who violently persecuted a group of people called Mormons for their beliefs, for whom are the victims. so much for America's high and almighty law of "Religious freedom". pff... yeah right.

The militia was led by Colonel William Jennings, Sheriff of Caldwell County. At the time of the attack it consisted of 240 men from Daviess, Livingston, Ray, Carroll, and Chariton counties and included prominent men such as Charles Ashby of the Missouri state legislature and Thomas O. Byron, Clerk of Livingston County.

Although the massacre took place a few days after Missouri's governor, Lilburn Boggs, issued his infamous Extermination Order, most historians have now concluded that the militia unit had neither the time nor the opportunity to have received news of the order.

i do no longer understand with regard to the Hauns Mill bloodbath. From the different solutions, I take it grew to become right into a bloodbath laid out against the Mormons. i hit upon any total scale slaughter of people reprehensible. people who take part in and people who provide the orders for it is going to submit to the duty for it. i visit declare, in spite of the shown fact that, that as quickly as i grew to become right into a Mormon, I hated being guilted into believing simply by suffering persisted by employing the pioneers. Now that I honestly have had some time far flung from the church, i will firmly understand that early Mormon's suffering does not make the church to any extent further or much less real. It merely potential that people could be unbearably cruel to a minimum of one yet another. and that i've got yet to discover a faith which could accurately handle that terrible factor of human nature.

I am tired of this type of Question and I'm not even Mormon.

Who ordered this?

In 1844 in Philadelphia, the "city of brotherly love," Protestants besieged Catholic neighborhoods with cannon fire and pistols, and also set houses aflame, because the Catholics had protested the use of the Protestant's King James Bible in public schools. Martial law was declared, and it took two thousand federal troops to quell the rioting; eighteen people were killed and scores more were injured.

If innocent men, women, and children were killed my first guess would be the God of the Old Testament.

We all moved to Utah.

Hey, who ordered the Mountain Meadows Massacre...ummm
