In addition to the Mormon religious prophesies that are considered canon by the Mormon religion, such as “Daniel’s Prophecy of the Rise of the Kingdom of God in the Last Days” and the “Doctrine of the Constitution Hanging by a Thread”, there are also other “unofficial” prophesies that do not constitution canon. Two of these “unofficial” Mormon prophesies are shown below. The first is the 1844 Hancock Prophecy, which was given by Joseph Smith in 1844 before his death, as documented in the Autobiography of Mosiah Hancock:

"There will be two great political parties in this Country. One will be called the Republican, and the other the Democratic Party. These two parties will go to war and out of these two parties will spring another party, which will be the Independent American Party. The United States will spend her strength and means warring in foreign lands until other nations will say, "Let's divide up the lands of the United States". Then the people of the United States will unite and swear by the blood of their forefathers that the land shall not be divided. Then, the Country will go to war and they will fight until one-half of the United States Army will give up, and the rest will continue to struggle. They will keep on until they are very ragged and discouraged, and almost ready to give up. That's when the boys from the mountains will rush forth in time to save the American Army from defeat and ruin. And, they will say, "brethren, we are glad you have come; give us men, henceforth, who can talk to God". Then, you will have friends, but you will save the Country when it's liberty hangs by a hair, as it were". –Joseph Smith (1844)
