Early Mormons had differing opinions about the Missourians. At first they were hopeful and felt that Missouri was the place that they should settle. Then many Missourians began to be hostile toward the Mormons, which caused most Mormons to feel that the Missourians were unaccepting and intolerant. As time went on, the Missourians became violent and forced the Mormons to flee the state by an Extermination Order, which made Mormons further dislike Missourians.
