These two are related, even though the Mormons do not realize this. Let me explain why.
Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon, and as soon as it was published, missionaries took copies of it to England. They found an eager audience in the Industrial Midlands of that country - who decided it was of divine origin, and that Smith was a Prophet of God. And left in large numbers, for America, to be close to this wonderful man.
All this was news to Joseph Smith himself - but he quickly adapted to this new role. Twenty years later, he was killed by an angry mob. But there are still people (nearly two hundred years later) who believe in him, and his work.
