Mormons have had an Oath of Vengeance against the American people as part of their religious practice. It is claimed they no longer used it after 1927. Their
Promised Land was Utah, not the Unitsd States,
Oath of Vengeance
"You and each of you do covenant and promise that you will pray and never cease to pray to Almighty God to avenge the blood of the prophets upon this nation, and that you will teach the same to your children and to your children's children unto the third and fourth generation."

The 1857 massacre referred to occurred in southern Utah Territory when the Mormons attacked the Baker-Fancher wagon train of American emigrants from Arkansas who were traveling to the West. About 150 people were killed by guns and knives, and 17 were injured. One group of Mormons called themselves the Nauvoo Legion, after the site where Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith (the Prophets) had been killed.

Yes, Utah and especially SLC was 'Mecca' to the Mormons, but it was my impression that they believed the entire USA to be God's chosen country. Brigham Young, I believe, had his 'vision and talk with God' in New York - and from there headed West, killing lots of Native Americans along the way. This Oath of Vengeance you mention is new to me...and interesting. Their entire 'religion' is full of very strange things and it often changes publicly, while retaining many of the 'rejected/changed' elements privately. I remember when I lived in San Diego and right along the main N/S highway a HUGE Mormon temple was under construction. For a very few days the public were allowed in the main upstairs rooms - the secret rooms downstairs were NOT open. After it was consecrated, as with all Mormon Temples, NO non-Mormon is allowed to enter! They are disproportionately used by US Intelligence agencies...which says it all.
