It does not make it ok.
Was Hans Mill good or bad in your way of thinking?
Do you think it was good and right to steal Mormon property, kill them, and drive them out in the middle of winter?
Fix your reading comprehension proy. I stated one evil does not remove the evil from another evil deed. But that may be too complicated for you at present.
Thanks for the help .... but true religious bigotry only attacks, never seeks to understand.
Many of these people are latter-day pharisees who never learned the Christ-like virtues of being a Christian.
I think the spelling is ‘Haun’s Mill’. It is a non-event in virtually all US history texts right along with Mountain Meadows. I was about 12 when I discovered the MM events by reading ‘Men to Match My Mountains’ by Irving Stone. Was in the USAF much later when a AF civilian from Utah mentioned Haun’s Mills.
In general the LDS chapter is the most poorly covered in standard scholarship. I believe it has less to do with religiously based anti-Mormonism than the history profession is almost purely secular except for the ghetto of ‘religious history’.
Secularists simply don’t know how to address the events of the origin of the LDS and Joseph Smith. I wish there were a secular scholar that would treat the subject with the seriousness it merits as Perry Smith did about the Puritans starting publishing in the 1930’s .
Until then polygamy, murder and Mountain Meadows will be the default for LDS history among us Gentiles.
Thou shalt not kill.
Assuredly; two wrongs do not make a right; but, however; three lefts will.
