Description

The beginnings of anti-Masonry and Mormonism coincide both in time and geography—the 1820s and western New York. Both had enthusiastic "burned over district” underpinnings. Both attracted devoted but also frequently eccentric followers. Both were enflamed in controversy. As time went on, both anti-Masonry and Mormonism became deeply involved in partisan journalistic battles and political tensions.
