Even though the 1st Amendment called for freedom of religion, Mormons were persecuted and forced to migrate to Mexican territories, specifically the Salt Lake area. This action demonstrated that the federal government was not reflective of their own laws. Nowadays, most Mormons are known to be a part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Although some of their perspectives have changed, they still remain under the name and are able to practice the religion freely.]]> 2017-11-01 19:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202681179 1012131 https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202681651 Brigham Young became the Mormon leader after the murder of Joseph Smith during the Mormon War.

However, in modern society, polygamy is no longer practiced by Mormons since the practice was terminated in 1890. The belief of polygamy within the Mormon community created even more animosity and persecution from other religious denominations. ]]> 2017-11-01 19:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202682303 varsha_sandadi https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202684016 2017-11-01 19:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202684016 varsha_sandadi https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202684653 2017-11-01 19:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202684653 1012131 https://padlet.com/varsha_sandadi/t6fg6gee6ian/wish/202687298 Cause: Mormons faced religious persecution in Nauvoo, Illinois - a discrimination that defied the 1st Amendment, freedom of religion.
