Why was Joseph Smith killed? Ep. 51

Joseph Smith was killed by a mob at Carthage Jail in Illinois on June 27, 1844. In this episode, Dave explores some of the reasons why it happened. The nearby Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo were a threat in both political and theological ways. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the suppression of a new Nauvoo newspaper that was critical of the Saints and Joseph Smith. The destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor was the spark that set off a ticking time bomb. Here’s what happened, and how it led to Joseph’s incarceration on that fateful June day.

They certainly weren’t murdered for it. For example, in 1837 in Alton, Illinois, a printing press was destroyed by a mob, and its owner, the famous abolitionist Elijah Lovejoy, was murdered. Out of the mob that murdered him, only one man stood trial, he was acquitted and no one was ever convicted for destroying the printing press or murdering its owner. In the state of Illinois you could destroy a printing press and reasonably expect to not be punished for it. “A not-so-well known unsavory fact about Abraham Lincoln (the Senator of Illinois turned President) is that he systematically endorsed the destruction of printing presses in the North that were sympathetic to the Southern cause. He did this because they were disturbing the peace (and threatening his war effort.) Joseph Smith did nothing as the mayor of Nauvoo that Lincoln wouldn’t repeat many, many times over as President of the United States. “Additionally, this was not Joseph Smith’s first rodeo with destruction of a printing press. In 1833, W. Phelps’s LDS printing press in Independence, Missouri was destroyed by non-Mormon vigilantes to prevent him from printing The Book of Commandments (the precursor for The Doctrine & Covenants.) No one ever stood trial for destroying this printing press. No one was murdered for it. I’m sure that when Joseph ordered the destruction of William Law’s Nauvoo Expositor he expected the same legal procedures that the Missourians had received: None at all.” https://bit.ly/2lUT3Wc *How did Willard Richards and John Taylor end up at Carthage with Joseph and Hyrum? According to BYU Research Center’s biography of Willard Richards, he “was voluntarily imprisoned in Carthage Jail with Joseph, Hyrum, and John Taylor (https://bit.ly/2nPCxqP ). How did John end up there? According to Life of John Taylor by B. H. Roberts and Jasen Hanson, “The Prophet had suddenly changed his mind and had determined on going to Carthage to give himself up; and he wished Elder Taylor to accompany him. “I must confess that I felt a good deal disappointed at the news,” says Elder Taylor, “but I immediately made preparations to go” (https://amzn.to/2mriui3 ) SUBSCRIBE: http://saintsunscripted/subscribe Follow Us: Facebook:   / saintsunscripted   Instagram:   / saintsunscripted   Twitter:   / saintsunscript   Follow the Hosts: Justin:   / motioncoaster   Mimi:   / mimi.bascom   David:   / davidesnell   The Sunday Pews (by David):   / thesundaypews
