British Israelism was rapidly growing in England when the United States-based [[Latter Day Saint movement]] sent its first missionaries to England. British Israelist ideas clearly influenced [[Mormons|Mormon]] thought by the 1850s, and by the 1870s, Mormon periodicals published in Britain were citing British Israelist proponents to promote the belief that most Mormons were of Anglo-Saxon and Israelite descent, concepts that would subsequently be synthesized into general Mormon discourse.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mauss |first=Armand L. |title=Mormonism's Worldwide Aspirations and its Changing Conceptions of Race and Lineage |journal=[[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought]] |volume=34 |year=2001 |issue=3/4 |pages=1003=133 at 108–109 |jstor=45226793 |doi=10.2307/45226793 |doi-access=free |s2cid=254314903}}</ref><ref name="Mauss 2003">{{cite book |title=All Abraham's Children: Changing Mormon Conceptions of Race and Lineage |last=Mauss |first=Armand L. |publisher=[[University of Illinois Press]] |year=2003 |isbn=0-252-02803-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7lXq9JfR_EYC}}</ref>{{rp|18, 35–36}}<ref>{{cite journal |last=Green |first=Arnold H. |title=Gathering and Election: Israelite Descent and Universalism in Mormon Discourse |date=1999 |journal=[[Journal of Mormon History]] |volume=25 |issue=1 |pages=211–213, 226 |jstor=23287743 |issn=0094-7342 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23287743}}</ref>
