Haha those were different times but definitely eye opening.
Mormons are broadly such nice people, you'd never guess how hard they rode https://twitter.com/default_friend/status/1306770982514733057 …pic.twitter.com/ywUlh4Sy93

Persecution is formative, more cultures should take the right lessons from it.

We're pretty easy to get along with, provided you don't start an anti-Mormon printing press down the street.

One of the most amazing and interesting things I’ve read about the early days of the Mormon church was in “A Study in Scarlet”, the first Sherlock Holmes story, published in 1887. I don’t know how accurate it is.
-
As for how accurate it is, it is... *not* accurate. Arthur Conan Doyle never met a Mormon or did any substantial research on them; his portrayal in "A Study in Scarlet" is based on third-hand accounts filtered largely through people antagonistic to the church.

iirc there was a law allowing people to shoot mormons in missouri that was only repealed in the 80s

My great-great-grandfather was arrested in Missouri for inciting a riot when they wouldn't let Mormons vote. He took a sack of pottery and attacked the voting station. At the end of it, his memoir says there weren't any pottery shards in the sack larger than an inch.
-
Maybe it was great-great-great-grandfather. Need to check. It is also clear in that memoir, written many years later, that he was entirely unrepentant.
