Answer:

It was in Nauvoo that Joseph Smith announced his most controversial revelation, plural marriage, or polygamy. When a newspaper exposed the Mormon practice of polygamy, Smith became outraged. He ordered the destruction of the newspaper’s press, which led to his arrest. An angry mob stormed the jail where Smith was being held, and he was killed. A Nauvoo charter asked the Mormon community to leave.
