If you add Pete's 34 years of time between Christ's visit and complete Nephite unity and peace to the time of our founding (1776), that takes us to 1810. Not much happened historically that year in the US (we acquired Florida), but the young Joseph Smith, Jr. turned 5 that year. Having survived infancy, Joseph's survival to adulthood was much more probable. The nascent life of the Lord's Prophet was the biggest event in world history since Christ's birth.

Excellent advice!

244 years is an interesting comparison, but I'm not sure it applies in this case. It was 34 years from the sign of Christ's birth until the Nephite society turned completely from wickedness. I would think 210 years would be the better number.
