Mormon abolitionists in Missouri
The Mormons picked a bad time to move from New York to Western Missouri. They were abolitionists and settled on Indian land there in the NW part of the state in the 1830s, and later spread into other Missouri counties, and around the height of the Border War (1838), the Missouri Governor Lilburn boggs got involved.
