Charles A. Foster (Latter Day Saints)
Charles A. Foster was an early member of the Latter Day Saint movement. He was the brother of Robert D. Foster. Foster-Higbee embroilment The '' History of the Church'' records Foster's arrest in Nauvoo, Illinois. The May 1, 1844, edition of the ''Nauvoo Neighbor'' contained a statement from Marshal Greene alleging that Foster "drew a double-barrel pistol on Mr. osephSmith". The Mayor mithordered me to arrest these three men for refusing to assist me in the discharge of my duty; and when attempting to arrest them, they all resisted, and with horrid imprecations threatened to shoot. I called for help, and there not being sufficient, the Mayor laid hold on the two Fosters at the same time. At that instant Charles A. Foster drew a double-barrel pistol on Mr. Smith, but it was instantly wrenched from his hand; and afterwards he declared he would have shot the Mayor, if we had let his pistol alone, and also he would thank God for the privilege of ridding the world of a tyrant! .. ...

Latter Day Saint Movement
The Latter Day Saint movement (also called the LDS movement, LDS restorationist movement, or Smith–Rigdon movement) is the collection of independent church groups that trace their origins to a Christian Restorationist movement founded by Joseph Smith in the late 1820s. Collectively, these churches have over 16 million members, although about 98% belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The predominant theology of the churches in the movement is Mormonism, which sees itself as restoring the early Christian church with additional revelations. A minority of Latter Day Saint adherents, such as members of Community of Christ, have been influenced by Protestant theology while maintaining certain distinctive beliefs and practices including continuing revelation, an open canon of scripture and building temples. Other groups include the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which supports lineal succession of leadership from Smit ...

Warsaw Signal
The ''Warsaw Signal'' was a newspaper edited and published in Warsaw, Illinois during the 1840s and early 1850s.

Names and incarnations The newspaper was founded as the ''Western World'', with its first edition published on May 13, 1840. In its May 12, 1841 edition, noting that ''Western World'' was a title that was "too extensive in its signification", the paper, which had been purchased by Thomas C. Sharp, changed its name to ''Warsaw Signal''. On January 7, 1843, the name was changed to ''Warsaw Message'' after Sharp sold the newspaper, but on February 14, 1844 the name reverted to ''Warsaw Signal'' when it was repurchased by Sharp.

People Excommunicated By The Church Of Christ (Latter Day Saints)
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Death Of Joseph Smith
Joseph Smith, the founder and leader of the Latter Day Saint movement, and his brother, Hyrum Smith, were killed by a mob in Carthage, Illinois, United States, on June 27, 1844, while awaiting trial in the town jail. As mayor of the city of Nauvoo, Illinois, Joseph Smith had ordered the destruction of the facilities used to print the '' Nauvoo Expositor'', a newly established newspaper created by a group of non-Mormons and others who had seceded from the church. The newspaper's first (and only) issue was highly critical of Smith and other church leaders, reporting that Smith was practicing polygamy and claiming he intended to set himself up as a theocratic king. In response, a motion to declare the newspaper a public nuisance was passed by the Nauvoo City Council, and Smith consequently ordered its press destroyed.

Nauvoo Expositor
The ''Nauvoo Expositor'' was a newspaper in Nauvoo, Illinois, that published only one issue, on June 7, 1844. Its publication, the destruction of the printed copies (which, according to the Nauvoo Charter, was the legal consequence of a newspaper deemed a public nuisance by the city council, including Joseph Smith), and the destruction of the printing press by the mob who followed the sheriff sent to collect the printed papers, set off a chain of events that led to Smith's death. The ''Expositor'' was founded by several seceders from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and some non-Mormons in the Nauvoo area. The single edition of the newspaper was critical of Smith and other church leaders. Specifically, Smith was criticized for teaching doctrines such as plural marriage and exaltation (the ability to become gods by creating and peopling new worlds).
