The Latter Day Saint movement has had varying and conflicting teachings on slavery. Early converts were initially from the Northern United States and opposed slavery, believing that their opposition was supported by Mormon scripture. After the church base moved to the slave state of Missouri and gained Southern converts, church leaders began to own slaves. New scriptures instructing Latter-Day Saints not to intervene in the lives of the slaves of others were revealed. A few slave owners joined the church, and when they moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, they took their slaves with them, even though Illinois was a free state.
