Response to Amateur Mormon Historian: The Cane Creek Massacre

This blog is as a response to Amateur Mormon Historian: The Cane Creek Massacre. A link to their blog is located on the side bar. Another View Point is intended not to stir up Anit-Mormon feelings, but to tell the other side of the story as to the events at Cane Creek, and the wider scope of events which were molding and shaping our country at the time.

The good people of Hickman County, were not savages, or heathens; for the most part they were God fearing people, who loved, protected their families, worked their farms and worshiped God as taught in the Bible. They also were not people who were exposed to the various religious experimental groups which would flourish in the North, and soon fade away. The Northern areas were experiencing the start of many experimental religious groups, of various living arrangements, during the time Mormonism was founded.

Many of the people in Hickman County were the children’s, children of the Protestant Reformation, and worship God as taught by their ancestors.
