∙ 8y agoMissouri at the time was both a southern slave-holding state and at the same time on the 'wild frontier'. The Mormons moving in were almost exactly the opposite. Conservative, devoutly religious folks, mostly from the northeast states, who were decidedly anti-slavery. The Mormons arrived in such large numbers that Missourians feared they would sway the vote and destroy the Missouri way of life.

What are some examples of prejudice or discrimination against Mormons?
When Mormons would run for presidential candidates, most people would probably not vote for them because of their faith. Mormons is often compared to Jews and Muslims. I would discriminate against a Mormon standing for a position of authority because of the pact that he claims to believe in something that defy logic I would suspect that he uses others that are Mormons to give him a base following and finance and would try to spread his influence from there. I don't believe an intelligent person believes the tripe espoused by any church. therefore they can not be honest or sincere.
