In this article Steven Harper focuses on the identity of the settlers already in Missouri at the time the saints came to settle around Independence. Non-Mormon Missourians felt that Mormons would free Black slaves and have them settle in Missouri. Missourians thought this would lead to violence, and also felt that Mormons, Blacks and Indians in the area were somehow the "other", not like themselves. Violence by the Missourians did escalate. The saints had largely left the county by 1834.
