"Between 1831-38, Mormons residing in Missouri generally responded to external threats of violence with restraint and a desire for negotiation and compromise, usually conceding to the demands made upon them by the state's officers and the general public. However, by the summer of 1838, Mormon officials insisted upon full exercise of their political and civil rights to the point that they were willing to defend such rights by armed force. Beginning in August 1838, hostilities erupted into armed aggression between Mormons and Missourians resulting in what has been termed the Mormon War. The conflict came to a conclusion in November 1838 when Mormon militia leaders surrendered to state military officers, and Church leaders submitted to authorities for trial in connection with the disturbances. The Mormon-Missouri conflict of 1838 consisted of seven military episodes or campaigns: (1) the confrontation between Mormons and Missouri vigilantes in Daviess County, including the intercession made by regional militia (August-mid-September); (2) the Latter-day Saint defense of the Mormon population residing in Carrol County against county regulators, and the response of the regional militia to the disturbances (August-October 10); (3) the expulsion of the non-Mormon residents of Daviess County by Mormon militia (mid-October); (4) the encounter between Mormon and Missouri militia at Crooked River in Ray County (October 24-25); (5) the attack made by Missouri vigilante forces at the Mormon settlement of Haun's Mill in eastern Caldwell County (October 30); (6) the Mormon defense of Far West against vigilante and state militia forces (late October); and (7) the Mormon surrender and the military occupation conducted by authorized militia (November 1-29). This study provides alternative explanations to the problems and issues associated with recent interpretations of the conflict." [Author's abstract]
