Jack Maddox examines the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre, where Mormon settlers killed 120 emigrants under a white flag. We explore how war hysteria, religious authority, manipulated indigenous allies, and fear of exposure transformed ordinary farmers into killers. Moving beyond simple villainy, this episode dissects the machinery of atrocity—showing how systemic forces, paranoia, and obedience created conditions where the unthinkable became inevitable in territorial Utah.
