We honor the anniversary of the murders of Joseph and Hyrum Smith and the attempted murders of John Taylor and Willard Richards in Carthage Jail. Ā In Part 1 we give an overview of some of the historical events that led up to the martyrdom. Ā We discuss Joseph Smithās attempts to get any presidential candidate, from either party, to pledge to help the Saints recover their stolen property in Missouri and protect their rights. Ā We discuss his resulting presidential campaign. Ā Apostasy from within the Church and political machinations and bigotry from without set the stage for that murderous day in Carthage.
