King makes three considerations of the Mountain Meadows Massacre: (1) the Latter-day Saints who carried out the killings did so on their own accord, (2) war hysteria was an important sociological factor that led to their actions, and (3) the Church attempted to prevent the massacre, as seen in Brigham Young's letter to the perpetrators.
