[ZION] Martyrdom Question

[Steven Montgomery]

In reading a short newspaper account of certain events from the life of 
John Taylor (See: 
http://www.thespectrum.com/news/stories/20030922/localnews/307727.html), 
including a visit made by John Taylor near Carthage shortly after the 
Martyrdom, one interesting question come to mind--what role did Mormons, or 
former Mormons, play in the role of assassinating the Prophet Joseph and 
his brother Hyrum? I will readily admit that Church History has never been 
my forte, but I'm not totally ignorant either. I at least have a general 
grasp of most events in Church History and have a general sense that 
several apostate Mormons were involved in the assassination. But I would 
like someone who has more knowledge in this area to enlighten me more as to 
specific names or characters involved. How about it, you history buffs?

"There is one and only one legitimate goal of United States foreign policy. 
It is a narrow goal, a nationalistic goal: the preservation of our national 
independence. Nothing in the Constitution grants that the president shall 
have the privilege of offering himself as a world leader. He is our 
executive; he is on our payroll; he is supposed to put our best interests 
in front of those of other nations. Nothing in the Constitution nor in 
logic grants to the president of the United States or to Congress the power 
to influence the political life of other countries, to 'uplift' their 
cultures, to bolster their economies, to feed their people, or even to 
defend them against their enemies." (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 
614; see also pp. 682 & 704.)
