145 years ago today - May 29, 1870

Brigham Young teaches: "The aborigines of this country are the descendants of this very people whom Jesus visited, to whom he delivered his Gospel, and among whom he organized his Church. They were obedient for over three hundred years, and served God with an undivided heart, after which they began to apostatize."

    it was ~200 years (not over 300 - BY greatly exaggerating, i.e., LYING).


    some interesting statistical patterns or randomness in American History:

    +200 factor:

    1620: Pilgrims arrive at Plymouth.
    1820: Restoration of the Gospel begins
    2020: ??? (Alma's 400 years prophecy).

    or, +80 factor

    1781 - last battle of the American Revolution.
    1861 - first battle of the Civil War.
    1941 - America enters World War 2.
    2021 - ???
