An analysis of Mormon theological racism and the impact of those doctrines on Mormon missionaries in the Pacific, 1830s-1860s. The doctrine of the dark-skinned Lamanites, whose complexion was caused by their evil ways, led to missionary activity and anxiety. While the Mormons believed that the Lamanites could be restored to goodness, the developing racism hindered the implementation of full-scale missionary activity in such Pacific areas as Melanesia.
