Although their goal was to spread their religion across the country, not everyone wanted to abide by these rules. A very large percent of the mormon population lived in the Utah Territory and its surrounding areas. In these areas, these reforms were pretty well instituted however this was not the case for the whole country.]]> 2017-12-06 18:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mhagan11/8cca19nc2lwp/wish/213858854
