1838 Mormon War in Missouri: How the State tried to eradicate the Mormons & drive them from Missouri
Executive Order #44 stated the Mormons in Missouri were to be treated as enemies and driven from the state. So what happen? How did these two groups of settlers get to the point of one of them being banished from the state?
I go to historical sights that I have never been to and have little knowledge of. I go and learn ---and hopefully you learn something right along with me. This is what my channel is about - getting out, exploring and learning. I go and learn the history while I am there!
I do try very hard to pronounce things properly, but sometimes I don't. Please forgive me :)

#10 Edwin Edwards
Governor of Louisiana from 1972 to 1980, 1984 to 1988, and 1992 to 1996, serving 16 years total in office, or 5,784 days, the sixth-longest amount of time in office for any governor since the Constitution.
Widely considered one of the most corrupt governors in American history, he actually got caught for racketeering, extortion, money laundering, mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy. He went to federal prison for eight years. He was unapologetic about receiving illegal campaign donations. He was accused of obstruction of justice and bribery. The only reason why Edwards is not higher up on my list is because is dedication to civil rights and protecting minorities and the poor.
#9 Joel Aldrich Matteson
Oh Louisiana and Illinois. You both have a long history of electing corrupt and just, plain horrible governors. And Matteson is one of them. Governor of Illinois from 1853 to 1857, he actually had a few accomplishments during his term. This was when Illinois began public education, and Matteson oversaw a strong economy and the reduction of the state’s debt. However, after he got out of office people started to find out about his shadiness.

“The Election Day Battle at Gallatin,” by Reed C. Durham Jr.: https://bit.ly/3gcZvxE
“Atchison’s Letters and the Causes of Mormon Expulsion from Missouri,” by Richard Lloyd Anderson: https://bit.ly/2FCBnYP
“Missouri Conflict,” from the Encyclopedia of Mormonism: https://bit.ly/2CEBgLd
“The Haun’s Mill Massacre and the Extermination Order of Missouri Governor Lilburn W. Boggs,” by Alexander Baugh: https://bit.ly/3gaqR7t
“Haun’s Mill Massacre,” in Encyclopedia of Mormonism: https://bit.ly/3l3gzcW
I also recommend the book “Rough Stone Rolling,” by Richard Bushman, which is excellently well-researched.
Notes:
-Why were things so tense between Missourians and Latter-day Saints? 5 reasons listed here: https://bit.ly/2CEBgLd
-Bushman mentions that Latter-day Saint forces moved into Gallatin, Millport, and Splawn’s Ridge. According to a directory of Daviess County “Towns, Villages, and Hamlets Past and Present,” Splawn’s Ridge was located “about 3 miles east of Gallatin, and near what afterward became the town of Millport...”
-“Mormon strategy went beyond protection of their own people to attacking suspected mobbers. Mormon militia were to confiscate the property of hostile Daviess citizens and force them to move, thus destroying the vigilantes’ home base. Enemies only were to be attacked. The confiscated property was to be deposited in the bishop’s storehouse for the use of Mormons who had suffered losses in earlier battles.” -Bushman, pg. 362.
-Some Saints claimed that mobbers were burning their own houses/buildings just to make the Saints look bad. Maybe, but I doubt it. It’s generally accepted that throughout the “war,” both parties pillaged and burned each other’s stuff. The injustice in it all is that the Saints were the ones the law came down hard on, while the mobs of Missourrians (the cause of the Saints’ desperation) were free to do as they pleased.
-”On November 1, Far West surrendered. The soldiers searched the city for firearms, threatening and ridiculing the Saints. A few days later, a force dispatched to Adam-ondi-Ahman accepted the surrender of the mormon leaders, who followed Joseph’s instructions not to resist. The Mormon men came one by one to a table where they signed away their property to the state of Missouri while militia men stood by and struck anyone who protested. By this time the Mormons were willing to go. Marauders were attacking outlying farms, molesting women, whipping men, and killing animals. [Albert] Rockwood reported that ‘orders from the governor are to exterminate the Mormons, the Brethren are hunted as wild game and shot down several have been shot in site of the City, womin [sic] are ravished and houses rifled, one woman has been killed within less than 2 miles of this City, we are here as captives strictly guarded by the Malitia [sic] no person is allowed to go out of the City.’” -Richard Bushman, Rough Stone Rolling, pg. 367.
