That deception will not wash, teppe. The Mormons tricked the wagon train into believing they were being taken hostage, then the Mormons murdered them all execution style, up close and personal. The only survivors of the wagom train were children so young they could not tell the truth of what happened.
Deception? You mean suggesting that the simultaneous U.S. invasion on Utah may have something to do with a sense of panic by its people, and may have pushed some over the edge???
How brilliant of an analysis in not recognizing external factors due to extreme religious bigotry.
You really are a pharisee in Christian clothing!
