In 1845, the "Illinois War" ended with Illinois Governor Ford telling the Mormons of Nauvoo to leave the State of Illinois.

Today, the mendacious Mormons lie and say they were terribly persecuted by the "gentiles" (non-Mormons), in every land they ever settled, because of their "religious beliefs". For the record the Mormons settled in New York, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and Utah, and the Mormons actually fought wars with the United States Governent in every one of these locations except for New York and Ohio.

My name is Lyle Slaughter, and I'm a 3^rd generation Arizonan living in Arizona, which used to part of the Mormon nation of Deseret. My Grandmother, Cleo Slaughter was inducted into Who’s Who of Arizona Business & Professional Women and was the campaign chairwoman for former Governor Howard Pyle in 1952, who led the 3rd raid on the polygamous Mormon town of Short Creek, Arizona (now known as Colorado City) in 1953. I was born and raised Presbyterian, but joined this insane religion when I was attending the University of Arizona.
