The Nauvoo Legion was disbanded by the state. It never protected the Saints from mobs, nor did it protect brother Joseph. I'm not sure why it was even brought up. You missed the point. The purpose for WHY the Nauvoo Legion was created. To protect the Saints against the hostile mob. It was created b...
