George Q. Cannon my ancestor wore stripes for his cause. Imprisoned because his view of marriage did not fit the definition of the time. "Our crime has been: We married women instead of seducing them; we reared children instead of destroying them; we desired to exclude from the land prostitution, bastardy and infanticide. ...Let the world know the facts. ... Let it be published to the four corners of the earth that in this land of liberty, the most blessed and glorious upon which the sun shines, the law is swiftly invoked to punish religion, but justice goes limping and blindfolded in pursuit of crime" -George Q. Cannon. #Lds #governmentwins #merica #1stamendment #ironic #usa #freedom #liberty
