The Mountain Meadows Massacre
The Mountain Meadows Massacre (1857) was the killing of members of a wagon train passing through southern Utah by a local Mormon militia, with help from some Native American allies, during a time of fear and tension connected to the Utah War. Some critics say Church leaders were responsible because of the situation in the territory and what was being said at the time, but historical evidence shows the attack was planned and carried out by local leaders, and does not show that Brigham Young ordered it. The Church has since said the event was a tragedy, expressed sorrow for what happened, and rejected the actions taken there.
