Mormon Leaders Sign Agreement With Jackson County Committee
The 1833 Jackson County pact between Mormon leaders and county citizens aimed to curb violence and regulate Mormon settlement.

Despite assurances by officials that the action was illegal, clashes over culture and land led to renewed violence by late 1833 and into October.
