What Happened – October 27

It was on this day in 1838 that the Governor of Missouri issued an order that said all Mormons must leave or be exterminated. Trouble between the Latter Day Saints and others had been brewing since 1831, when one of the church leaders announced that a holy city was to be built in the state leading to a large influx of the faithful. In August of 1938 a small group of Mormons were threatened with physical violence while trying to vote, and gun fire was exchanged. Things had escalated even more by early October, and vigilantes…on both sides…were burning down the homes of their opponents and pillaging livestock. Gov. Lilburn Boggs issued Executive Order 44 after a unit of state militamen were attacked by Mormons, stating “the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peace—their outrages are beyond all description.” By the following Spring, practically all of the 10,000 Latter Day Saints had left Missouri. The order was not officially rescinded by the state until 1976.

    What’s this? Someone just happened to notice that a nearly 100-year-old executive order banning Mormons and LDS churches and members from the state of Missouri had never been rescinded?”
    — Oh, boy. Bring on the Mormon/LDS reparations trials.

    “1775 – King George III goes before Parliament and declares the American colonies to be in a state of rebellion.”
    — Did anyone remember to rescind this declaration?
