The REAL History: How Joseph Smith founded the Mormon Church

Who was Joseph Smith—prophet, fraud, or something in between? This in-depth historical documentary explores the controversial founder of Mormonism through original sources, primary documents, and scholarly research. From treasure digging and seer stones to golden plates and secret marriages, we follow the rise of a farm boy who claimed visions from God and built a religious empire—until his violent death in 1844. Topics include the origins of the Book of Mormon, the evolution of Smith’s theology, the introduction of polygamy, ties to Freemasonry, failed prophecies, the Kinderhook Plates, and the events that led to the Nauvoo Expositor and his arrest. This video is intended for educational purposes and aims to provide a factual, critical look at the life and legacy of Joseph Smith, one of the most controversial figures in American religious history. 🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more long-form historical deep dives. 00:00:00 Part 0 - Introduction 00:01:29 Part 1 - The Smith Family and the Religious Climate 00:05:14 Part 2 - Treasure Digging and Meeting Emma 00:08:46 Part 3 - The Golden Plates 00:17:08 Part 4 - Translating the Book of Mormon 00:25:33 Part 5 - The Witnesses 00:29:01 Part 6 - Publishing the Book of Mormon 00:35:17 Part 7 - Establishing a New Religion 00:38:51 Part 8 - Persecution and the First Vision Documentation 00:42:42 Part 9 - The First Migration 00:48:16 Part 10 - Joseph Moves the Saints to Missouri 00:53:40 Part 11 - The Rise of Kirtland: The First Temple and Joseph's Expanding Power 01:02:10 Part 12 - Joseph's Changing Theology: The Nature of God and the First Vision Revisions 01:03:20 Part 13 - The Birth of the Book of Abraham and the First Rumors of Polygamy 01:06:46 Part 14 - The Completion of the Kirtland Temple 01:13:40 Part 15 - The Missouri Mormon War: Conflict, Betrayal, and the Extermination Order 01:18:36 Part 16 - Nauvoo: The Kingdom of God on the Mississippi 01:21:16 Part 17 - New Temple Rituals and New Plates to Translate 01:26:31 Part 18 - Polygamy in Nauvoo: Secrecy, Betrayal, and Power 01:32:03 Part 19 - Joseph's Political Plans: The Kingdom of God 01:35:16 Part 20 - The Beginning of the End 01:38:48 Part 21 - The Aftermath: A Church With No Leader 01:40:24 Part 22 - A New Beginning 01:42:56 Part 23 - Bonus: AI Generation Fails 📚 For those who are curious, want more information or wish to verify the history for themselves, here are sources we used: Primary Historical Sources: Joseph Smith’s Own Writings & Church Documents: History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (7 Volumes) – B.H.
