Mormons have had a tremendous influence upon American and World History. Mormons of the 1800's were pivotal to the Western expansion and colonization effort of the United States of America. Their active global missionary efforts influenced thousands of converts to immigrate to Utah and then colonize other regions of the United States and Mexico. By the late 1800s and early 1900s the church began to encourage converts to stay in their own countries, and help build strong nations and communities. Mormon influence upon world genealogical research is unsurpassed. The Mormon Family History center in Salt Lake City is one of the nations top religious tourist sites.

What else can I help you with?
Why did Gov Ford not protect the Mormons in Illinois after he promised to protect them from the mob attacks?
There are several reasons why Gov Ford didn't protect the Mormons. One he was concerned about retaining his position as Governor and being reelected. the people that opposed the Mormons were politically powerful and had great influence with the Governor. They told the Governor that the Mormons were causing the problems and that the rest of the population were only protecting themselves. They made the Governor believe that the Mormons were threatening the safety of the rest of the population. So he issued the extermination order. The Mormons either had to leave the State of Missouri or be exterminated.
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.
