According to the Government's National Statistics Office, Theravada Buddhism makes up about 94 percent of practiced religions in Thailand.

Many of those who would otherwise serve missions for the church, enrolled in military service, limiting the number of men available to become LDS missionaries.

After the arrest of Nakazawa, Takahashi no longer supported the missionaries, describing Grant as cruel and "cold-blooded" for refusing to pay Nazakawa.

Many scholars have hypothesized why Young supported slavery. John Smith suggested that with New Mexico leaning toward entering the Union as a free state, Young may have felt it would be easier to enter the Union as a slave state in order to preserve the balance of power in Congress. He also pointed out that several Mormons owned slaves, partially because the Mormons had actively proselyted in the southern United States prior to their arrival in Utah, including several prominent Mormons (including apostles Charles C. Rich and Abraham Smoot). He also said Young may have felt that white slave owners from the South would be more likely to convert to Mormonism and migrate to Utah if their slaves were treated as property.
