					<description><![CDATA[When you disobey the nation&#039;s rules as the Mormons had been doing at that time, yes, you either need to obey the laws of the land or to leave the nation. Multiple marriages was against the nation&#039;s laws, period. Mormons have since stopped that practice, but it was very much a part of their culture until the first quarter of the 20th century. They weren&#039;t &quot;persecuted&quot; by the government--it was their ways of living that were clearly in conflict with the laws of a nation that declared in its Declaration of Independence that we would be &quot;a nation of laws, not of men&quot; (meaning of an elite, ruling class as the royals and the religious leaders had been in Europe). 

And, as for the Confederates who wanted to keep their slavery alive, they showed their so-called courageousness; instead of doing the honorable thing, and staying to help repair the damage they&#039;d done in starting that civil war at home, instead, they fled, allowing their families and fellow neighbors to help heal the wounds. They had no honor to start with, and thus brought none to Brazil. The more generations that pass and manage to forget such ways were even possible, the better off Brazil will be, and the rest of the world. Oh yes--and America was better off without such cowards propagating such disgusting ways as slavery, cowardice, and propagating lies for generations forward. It&#039;s good to hear, however, that they changed some of those worst ways, at last--but only because Brazilian law eventually required them to do so, just as the American laws they fled from did.]]></description>
