==Synopsis==
The [[Mormonism]] movement began in 1820 in [[New York]]. [[Joseph Smith]], the founder, claimed to have received visions in which he was told by [[God]] that all the churches were "wrong" and that God would restore the true [[New Testament]] church using him. Smith said an angel named [[Moroni]] visited him and disclosed the location of a book "written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this [American] continent, and the source from whence they sprang" - Smith found these and "translated" them into the [[Book of Mormon]] which formed the basis of Mormonism. ==Contents==---__TOC__
