the national road makes its terminus here on the ohio river. why here?everal reasons that wheeling had to its advantage. this is a floodplain here. it has an island at its basin. as a consequence, you have this place for river transport. the town also is old enough that it has some connections to people back in washington. if you look at a map and draw lines west from cumberland, you will realize the national road does not follow those lines. it goes north to uniontown because the secretary of the treasury in the jefferson administration, guess where he went? uniontown. so it goes there. then it runs to washington. the national road, when it comes in to wheeling in 1818, you have to remember that ohio was all ready -- already a state. it had been a state for 15 years. illinois and indiana are states by this time. what this road does is it facilitates the movement of people, but it facilitates the movement of goods to the west. ohio, by the time of the civil war, will become the fourth largest state in the union, ok? when people move west, they need a hou

smith himself actually remained in ohio at this time. he moved to ohio in the very early 1830's. he did not move to missouri yet, but his followers began doing so. they moved to independence and other neighboring parts of jackson county, missouri. from the start, joseph smith faced opposition from neighbors, from some other ministers. it is when the latter-day saints began settling in independence that they began to have serious conflicts and clashes with other americans. and i think it is not too hard to figure out why. this is a relatively sparsely settled part of the american frontier. in 1832, 1833, hundreds of mormons began moving to independence, buying land, building houses, settling there. other settlers, non-mormon settlers, are worried they will soon be outnumbered. it's probably also a little offputting when a new religious movement starts buying up the property in your county and claiming that they will be sheltered from god's coming judgment. the non-mormons in jackson county had all sorts of complaints about incoming mormon settlers. they didn't like the fact that m
