==Lost 116 pages==
During The writing of The Book of Mormon, Lucy Harris, The Wife of Martin Harris hid 116 translated pages from The Plates of Lehi to test whether or not Joseph Smith was reading off The Golden Tablets or making it up. Rather than translating off the same plates, The Lord commanded Joseph Smith to translate off the plates of Nephi to teach Smith a lesson. Mormon skeptics heavily criticize this event as they believe it proves Joseph Smith it a false prophet, and The Story of Mormonism is false.

Joseph Smith himself was an [[File:Abolitionism.png]] [[Abolitionism|Abolitionist]] and appointed many Blacks to priesthood and ordinances.
When Brigham Young became President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints after Smith's death, the teachings of Black People drastically changed. Young described slavery as "A Divine institution" and legalized the practice of slavery in Utah. In 1852, The LDS Church banned Blacks from Priesthood and restricted Black members from participating in Marriage. This ban was later repealed in 1978.
