In 1831, during a single expedition, the Latter Day Saint leaders appointed two settlements, one at Independence on the western Missouri frontier, and the other at Kirtland in northern Ohio. They designated Zion to be in Missouri. From the beginning, the Mormons in Missouri engaged in conflicts with their Gentile neighbors, until the Gentiles banished them from Jackson County in 1833. They then began their gradual movement northeast, first moving north across the Missouri River to Clay County. Then, 1838, emigrated north to Caldwell County to flee oppression, where the Ohio members joined them for the same reason. When Missouri exiled them altogether in 1839, they moved east to Quincy, Illinois.Thttp://www.strangite.org/Wisconsin.htm Taken from the Internet, September 13, 2001.€Becomes a Statef¶ÿÿÍÍÍÍ€¶When Wisconsin became the 30th state, the state created was smaller than the Territory had been.
