Description: This book tells the compelling story of religious persecution in Missouri during the Civil War era. The author meticulously chronicles the systematic suppression of Christianity, focusing on the plight of Methodist ministers who were targeted for their beliefs. He paints a stark picture of a state where religious freedom was brutally violated, drawing parallels to the dark ages of religious intolerance. The book explores the complex interplay of political agendas, social pressures, and the rise of anti-Christian sentiment that fuelled this persecution. The author exposes the hypocrisy of those who, while claiming to fight for a just cause, turned on their fellow countrymen simply for being devout Christians. The book is a powerful testament to the resilience of faith in the face of adversity and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked political and social extremism.
