We've Got to Get Out of Here

After joseph was murdered, especially after joseh's murdered, the reality is, we have got to get out of here. Texas is a separate republic. California is another country.

By late 18 forty five, you have ving mobs who are going into outlying mormon settlements and burning them down. The other thing that's happened is that illinois has revoked the navo charter. All those things just build on one another, and you get to where john taylor is saying, you now, this is your american freedom, essentially.
