This is easy when you consider yourself a Prophet of God, or some other special being.
Immediately the world is divided into those who support you and those who oppose you. And this opposition, in some situations, can become violent.
This was definitely the case in Missouri in the 1830s. He could not have found a worse place to take his followers. But this was exactly what he did.
He had little social awareness and thought mainly of himself. Which attitude many people found attractive.
He tried to make a new start in Nauvoo, but that ended with his death in 1844, another Mormon War, and some of his Saints leaving the country, for what became Utah.
