Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") have been attacked and discriminated against simply because people don't like them or don't agree with them. In the 1840's, they were attacked for the same reasons. Many people living on the American Frontier at that time had moved there because society was less rigid. When the Mormons moved in and started becoming the majority in their cities and towns, people got angry. The Mormons lived a very rigid and conservative lifestyle, they didn't fit in with the way others wanted to live. Mormons began controlling politics in the area simply because so many of them voted. Many people also thought they were crazy or heretical because of their beliefs, or had heard false rumors about them.
