King Tech Quadafi:
Yes, Ive heard of this Mormon trek. But I heard some shady shit went down. B. Young was scheming and Joseph Smith mightve caught it from one of his comrades?

Plus, pr-wise a bunch of dead Cossacks and Central Asians isnt as marketable as a bunch of dead Jews/

Slavery was still going on 200 years ago.

This was similiar to the justification used for the Prophet Muhamad to have the wives he did. Many of them were widows, etc.

Never heard that one before. Every account I've heard of goes someting like this:
Joseph Smith had been jailed for 'blasphemy' or 'inciting a riot' or something similar (basically to keep his mouth shut). He was allowed to write, etc. and had several of his 'revelations' while imprisoned. Eventually, a mob busted the door down and rushed up the steps to the room he was being held prisoner in; his friend (and later 3rd president of the church) held the door shut literally knocking guns out of people's hands while they poked them through the crack in the door... Joseph's last words were "That's right, hold them back as well as you can" and tried to leap from the window of the room to the ground below, was shot before making it out the window, fell and died. His friend (who's name escapes me) hobbled under the bed and was shot several times, and Joseph's brother was killed as well in the room. Brigham was a strange cat but he had no involvement in the mob.
