Throughout the 19th century, Mormons faced repeated persecution and violence as they sought to practice their religion freely. From being pursued by hostile mobs to facing official actions like the 1838 Missouri Extermination Order, Mormons were frequently accused and imprisoned for acts they did not commit.
Thesis: Many believe that mormons were the cause of all these wars and that their wrong-doings brought these wars upon themselves, but they were only trying to express their religion freely and they were willing to fight as they needed until they had that right and they were no longer persecuted by other citizens and government leaders.
