The aftermath of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hiram Smith
After the assassination of Joseph and Hiram Smith, the town of Carthage was in chaos. Citizens were concerned about possible retaliation from the Latter-day Saints and some fled the town. Willard Richards wrote a letter informing Nauvoo of the attack and warning of potential further violence. The church leaders had to regroup and determine the next steps. The bodies of Joseph and Hiram were taken to Nauvoo, where thousands of people lined the streets to pay their respects.
