The article examines the election campaign and voting in Caldwell and Daviess counties in Missouri and the growing political power of Mormon communities in the U.S. In Daviess, Colonel William Peniston condemned the Mormons as objectionable neighbors and unworthy of voting when he failed to persuade them to vote as a bloc for him. During the 1830s, U.S. President Andrew Jackson's opposition to the Bank of the United States was supported by the Mormons. It is said that the vast majority of Caldwell's estimated five thousand citizens were Mormons by the summer of 1838.
