"Joe Smith and Brigham Young laid out Independence, but very soon thereafter enough citizens of the county collected to drive them off, after several stubborn fights"

About this Quote

Joe Smith and Brigham Young were two of the original creators of the city, but they were soon driven out by the people of the county. This was likely due to the reality that Smith and Young were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the people of the county were not. The people of the county put up a fight versus Smith and Young, but ultimately they were eliminated. This quote is a testimony to the strength of the citizens of the county and their determination to keep Smith and Young out of their city. It also works as a reminder of the religious tensions that existed in the location at the time.
