TIL the US state of Missouri's governor signed a Mormon extermination order in 1838 which wasn't formally rescinded until 1976 - Lemmy.World

Missouri Executive Order 44 (eat your heart out, George) was signed by Lilburn Boggs on October 23, 1838, and ordered that Mormons in the state be โ€œexterminatedโ€ or exiled. This destroyed Boggsโ€™ political career, but the order wasnโ€™t formally rescinded until 1976 as a goodwill gesture by Governor Kit Bond. Zombie laws and orders are a hell of a drug that I imagine keep lawyers up at night.
