Wikipedia

I found this interesting and informative. it explains why the move to Missouri from Ohio was such a disaster. And it shows how violent the times were.

All this would result in the Civil War and Civil Rights violations that would last for over a century. As a boy, I could remember newspaper reports of lynchings.

In Nauvoo, Illinois, all Blacks had to leave town before sundown.
