Wow, didn't know about that =). Although, it does say that:

> no one is known to have been killed by the militia or anyone else specifically because of it. There were, however, other associated deaths: the militia and other state authorities used Boggs' Executive Order as a pretext to expel the Mormons from their lands in the state, and force them to migrate to Illinois.

I'm pretty sure many muslims countries suffer much worse violence than that, over many more years.

No one is known to have been killed as a direct result of that order; that was the last straw after a lot of other stuff had gone down.

Don't forget about the Mountain Meadows Massacre which occurred in the larger context of the "Utah War" about 20 years after your referenced events. http://mountainmeadowsmassacre.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_War
