Today is the anniversary of when Brigham Young ordered the !Mormons to attack a wagon train of gold prospectors. They went in Indian blackface (just like the Boston Tea Party !burgers !chuds) and killed about 140 people over a few days. Then they kidnapped everyone under 8 and raised them Mormon.
All because Brigham Young accused them of having the gun that shot Joseph Smith in their possession.

Trying to make it look like the Indians did it is that extra bit of treachery that a moral person would never even think of.

Early Mormons were actually so fricking cool. The part that always gets overlooked now is that they were bonafide separatists and trying to carve their own independent state out of land they hoped Uncle Sam wouldn't miss. Also they convinced thousands of german and Scandinavian settlers to sell all their possessions and attempt to walk from Missouri to Utah in the fall without wagons.
