Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I have a St Pius X High School down the street from me; almost got sent there. Private Uber Catholic school system that goes K-12. All the kids who go there are raised super strict Catholic, corporal punishment by super strict nuns in full regalia that carry out the punishments as they see fit.
Mormons settled in Missouri, as Independence, MO is the place where the Second Voming of JFC was prophesied to happen.
The Mormons tried to take over the whole state through violent rebellion, therefore there was an Execute-On-Sight order put on all Mormons in Missouri. So yeah they all had to scatter to the states just around Missouri.
Today both sects of the cult have moved back to KCMO to take over as much of it as they can, including most of Independence — their Mecca.
Actually, the Latter-day Saints legally bought property throughout Missouri and even founded a few towns, but their neighbors didn't like their political and economic influence and formed mobs to kill them and steal their land. The Latter-day Saints were unable to get support from the corrupt Missouri government, and states rights being a major issue of the time, were also unable to get support from the federal government. They defended themselves with deadly force, but were unable to prevail against the mobs, which were explicitly supported by the state. The "Extermination Order" was eventually signed by Governor Lilburn Boggs, and the Latter-day Saints abandoned their legal property in Missouri.
So no, there was no violent rebellion of "Mormons" in Missouri. There was a state-sponsored genocide, which eventually forced an entire faith to flee the United States in search of religious freedom. One of the darkest moments in our country's history.
This happened 4 different times in 4 different places in Missouri until “Order 44” was put upon them all within the borders of Missouri.
And even then, a militia went over the border to execute Mormons.
