Industrialization and Mormonism

The end of the 18th Century, resulted in the separation of Americans from their mother country, and the Second Great Awakening. Americans have always been Religious and Violent and soon became Industrial.

Industrialization made fundamental changes to English People's thinking, which was shown in their reception to the Book of Mormon, which has no literary value. They thought it was wonderful and divine scripture, and insisted on traveling to America to be with this Prophet of God!

The history of this book was not complicated. Joseph Smith wrote it to make money and tried to sell it. in Canada. But his followers had other ideas and took it to England. They did not take it to London, the literary center of England, but took it directly to the Industrial Midlands, where the workers toiled and lived in terrible conditions, that must have damaged their minds.

Even today, over one hundred years later, there are people (such as my Brother) who believe in it completely!

Smith did not consider himself to be a divine person, but rapidly got used to the idea, started receiving revelations, and soon had a large following.

This was violent mass insanity, which eventually resulted in his death.
