PART 1:    • The REAL Story of the Mormon Church  

Check out all my sources for this video here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j...

Joseph Smith founded the LDS Church and this is the story of what followed: how mormons planned to expand into the west, how other prophets rose up and polygamy took over, the tension between them and the US government, and finally, how Utah came to be. This is part two of a three part series.
