“To Joseph Smith he wrote: “Almost without exception it is the poor that receive the gospel.” For these humble, teachable people, Brigham wrote, “simple testimony is enough.” - the purpose of trials often is to put us in a state we couldn’t be in if full of pride; humble and teachable, like a sponge that can absorb the gospel. hardening your heart turns it into a stone, which doesn’t absorb much at all

ok so he literally thought white was the superior race and he was “helping” the native Americans by trying to force them to become “civilized”

Brigham Young was brilliant at rapidly spreading the colonization of Mormons in order to gain leverage over those persecuting them. When you are economically or financially dependent on someone else, you are literally giving them all the leverage and all the power if you become financially independent, they have no power. And you have freedom. Wonder if polygamy fits into here somewhere

Very interesting to learn and realize—the church is not a democracy
