Bushman questions the traditional explanation of Mormon-Missourian friction which focused on '[LDS] interference with Negroes, collusion with Indians, threatened armed aggression, the offensive religion of the Mormons, and their growing political power.' (p. 11) Bushman concludes that the main issue lay with the Mormons' growing political power that threatened the local Missourians. This in turn was a reflection of the Saints' religious society. In the eyes of the Missourians it was an alien society, sharply in contrast with their norms. Here was the root of the Missouri and later persecutions that the Saints experienced.
