Mormonism Early yearsMormonism faced minor persecution in its very early years and its headquarters were forced to move from place to place until reaching Utah. Reorganised ChurchA schism within the church resulted in persecution of the breakaway group by the original Mormons, with fatal retribution to follow. The Reorganised Church of Latter Day Saints arose from a schism within Mormonism (Latter Day Saints). In 1842, the Mormons formed the Endowment Quorum or Holy Order, to promote support for polygamy and certain temple rites. William Law was opposed to polygamy and was excommunicated in 1844 for his dissent. Together with Sidney Rigdon, he published the Vauvoo Expositor in 1844 and established a separate Church. The new Church was opposed by the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, and other Mormons. Its press was destroyed by a mob, leading to Smith and others to be imprisoned for causing a riot. The prison holding Smith was mobbed by a "rabble of freemasons" on 27th June 1844, resulting in Smith's lynching. Government authorityThe government of the United States insisted that the law forbidding polygamy be obeyed, a requirement to which the Mormons finally acquiesced. Arguably, the position of the government did not constitute persecution.
