. . . we hold ourselves at all times in readiness . . . to exterminate, utterly exterminate, the wicked and abominable Mormon leaders, the authors of our troubles . . . a war of extermination should be waged. (Resolutions passed by citizens of Warsaw, DHC 6:464)

The goal of good government should be to improve the welfare and happiness of the people over whom it rules. Its laws should aid them in obtaining their necessities and offer protection of lives and property. It should provide an atmosphere that brings out the best in people and that treats them all equally. Justice should be blended with mercy, but oppressors should not escape punishment. Here in America that dream should have been realized, but instead men have been overcome by temptations, weaknesses and desires for power–conditions which seem to exist in all governments.

With the restoration of a kingdom of light came all the corresponding powers of a kingdom of darkness. Within 50 years of the birth of the American nation, mortal and spiritual forces began to destroy it. However, the devil can do nothing unless human agencies do his bidding. Men in all the various guises of political, religion and social arenas became agents of evil.
