Lilburn Boggs was the Lieutenant Governor of Missouri during the Jackson County period. He owned a large piece of land in Jackson County, and feared that the county would be overrun by the members of the church, taking control of the economics and political power. He was instrumental in bringing about the deadly mob actions that drove the members from their homes in the middle of the winter.
