Between 1833 and 1836, many people in Upper Canada converted to Mormonism. This article examines some of the factors which caused Church growth to decline thereafter. The Mormons were caught in the middle of a political debate between the radical reformers and the ruling tory faction. They also incurred the wrath of the Methodists, Anglicans, and Presbyterians for encroaching on their congregations. The problems imposed by geographic distance and a large emigration of Canadian Saints to the U.S. in 1838 also were factors in bringing about the decline of the Mormon population in Canada by the early 1840s
