Greatly One Sided

It always amazes me how so called Historians and Writers, take a one sided view of History and write their movies and books to express their view points. In this movie it is very clear the writer and director are very anti Mormon and thus want to portray all Mormons in a negative light. Yes they say they did their research, but to what extent. What was it they were really looking for. Mormons have acknowledged the fact that Mountain Meadows happened and was a tragedy. However it was a group of misguided and misinformed individuals who took matters into their own hands. The entire LDS Church should not be blamed as should not the entire United States for the tragedies that happened at Kirtland Ohio, Hawn's Mill in Missouri, Far West Missouri, Governor Boggs of Missouri and his extermination of Mormons order, and Nauvoo Ill. Entire communities, The Baptist, Methodist, Catholics, Lutherans, etc., of those areas should not be blamed for Mormon property being seized, women being raped, families being terrorized, yes men, women and children being murdered, the tar and feathering and the forced exodus of a religious group from a country which is suppose to protect religious freedom. But no. No historian or writer will create a movie with this fact in mind to show the terror Mormon people experienced in the 1830's, & 1840's and shed a negative light on other religious groups and the the United States Government for the failure to support and defend its Constitution. With that said the movie "September Dawn" is a good movie for entertainment purposes only. It is not totally historically accurate and those watching should realize that. The scenes which mentioned Polygamy and the Temple scene are not factual. It reminded me of the issues of the FLDS Church which is not the LDS Church. Again, this movie should be looked at for entertainment only, and one should do their own study and research if they truly want to know the truth. Mountain Meadows was a tragedy and should never had happened, but it was a group of individuals and not the LDS Church. It should be interesting to note that the comment of one of the writers about what Brigham Young knew was not supported with any factual evidence only that he was the Governor of Utah and the President of the LDS Church and therefore would have known everything that went on in Utah. Come on people, we are talking about 1857 where travel took days as well as communication. Even today, our own political leaders don't know everything that is going on throughout our country or the world. So do your own study and research and come to your own conclusion and not that of a so called proclaimed historian and writer.

is tax exempt. If it is a true event, it really speaks volumes about the intellegence of the people and I've read that the human race gets dumber every generation. Boy are we in trouble!

DYNAMITE! An indictment against organised religion at it's WORST!

I've been studying this incident for meny years, and having just seen SEPTEMBER DAWN, it rekindled my dislike and mistrust for organized religion, especially these loonies! The LDS church has NEVER come close to admitting even knowledge of the incident, much less full-blown blame for it. Brigham Young not only knew about it; he ORDERED it, just as portrayed in the film. I'm sure the Mormons are telling their members to buy all the copies they can and burn them (it should really help sales figures), but it's a terrific film and hits the point head-on about Young's complicity in it. By the way, if you ever want to get rid of Mormons who come to your door in the middle of dinner, just ask the about the Mountain Meadows Massacre and watch them RUN!!!
