Why did Gov Ford not protect the Mormons in Illinois after he promised to protect them from the mob attacks?
There are several reasons why Gov Ford didn't protect the Mormons. One he was concerned about retaining his position as Governor and being reelected. the people that opposed the Mormons were politically powerful and had great influence with the Governor. They told the Governor that the Mormons were causing the problems and that the rest of the population were only protecting themselves. They made the Governor believe that the Mormons were threatening the safety of the rest of the population. So he issued the extermination order. The Mormons either had to leave the State of Missouri or be exterminated.

What are some examples of prejudice or discrimination against Mormons?
When Mormons would run for presidential candidates, most people would probably not vote for them because of their faith. Mormons is often compared to Jews and Muslims. I would discriminate against a Mormon standing for a position of authority because of the pact that he claims to believe in something that defy logic I would suspect that he uses others that are Mormons to give him a base following and finance and would try to spread his influence from there. I don't believe an intelligent person believes the tripe espoused by any church. therefore they can not be honest or sincere.
What are Mormons remembered for?
Many people remember Mormons for the pioneer trek in the mid-1800's. This has caused some misconceptions of people thinking that Mormons are similar to the Amish, but modern Mormons do not dress like pioneers or travel in horse-drawn wagons.

People are curious, so they ask.

On the whole Mormons who have one spouse at a time are very popular.
How do ordinary Americans relate to Mormons?
Well Mormons are very much like the average American. The differences that would separate them are the standards to which Mormons live. An active and rule following Mormon will not have sex before marriage, drink alcohol or coffee, smoke, use drugs, watch 'R' rated movies, or view porn. Mormons live life just like other people: some like football some don't, some like classical music some like rock. They are regular people who are just trying to be the best people they can be.

What do you think of Mormons?
Well, I am a "Mormon" (a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), so maybe my answer isn't really what your looking for, but I think that it is difficult to bunch all Church members together in the same group. I suppose what I think of "Mormons" is that they are all pretty different!Some I get along with and some I don't. Some are rich, some are poor, some are conservative, some are liberal. (Harry Reid and Glenn Beck are BOTH Mormon!) Some can be really stuck up and others are the most kind, giving people you will ever meet. Some refuse to listen to rock music and others are in popular rock bands. (for example, Brandon Flowers of The Killers) They come from every race and nationality, from Austria to Zimbabwe.The Church emphasizes that each individual has agency - they can choose who they want to be and what they want to do. They can choose what they think is appropriate and what they think is inappropriate. Joseph Smith said "I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves." I think that Mormons live up to that quite well.
How did people treat Mormons during depression?
It depends on the location... most people were so concerned about providing for themselves that they weren't really concerned with what other people were doing. There are some stories of lynchings of Mormon missionaries in the southern United States during this time, but for the most part the Mormons were left alone.
Why were Mormon's more persecuted than the shakers?
This could be due to several reasons.First, the Shakers were more insular and kept to themselves, while Mormons have a very extensive evangelism effort and proliferate into their communities. Since Mormons were out and about, people had a higher chance of being annoyed by them.Second, the Shakers were, for the most part, a smaller group. The Mormons are ever-expanding. People felt more threatened by the Mormons and in some cases were worried that Mormons would take over their cities and towns. There were more Mormons, so there were more to persecute.Third, the Shakers have died out, but Mormonism lives on. Nobody persecutes Shakers anymore because they don't exist, but Mormons are still persecuted by many to this day.
