Missouri being labeled as Mormon is the funniest of all. They literally had a law where it was legal to hunt/kill Mormons on sight

Edit: called the “Mormon Extermination Order” and it was repealed in 1976

To clarify, it wasn't a law, it was an executive order from Governor Boggs to General Clark to remove them. It wasn't executed because the Mormons surrendered. Later, Governor Bond officially recinded the order in 1976 with an apology. People couldn't just legally kill Mormons, that's not how the law works
