Your death has shocked and saddened your followers, who now face an uncertain future. Some of them will remain faithful to your teachings and follow your successor, Brigham Young, to the West. Others will splinter off into different factions or leave the church altogether. After your death, your son Joseph Smith III and your wife Emma will publicly deny your involvement in polygamy, despite evidence to the contrary. This controversy will continue to haunt your legacy for many years to come. Nevertheless, as history unfolds, your influence on American history will become more apparent.
