If the garden of Eden was in Jackson County, Missouri, then there were three civilizations that were swept off this continent because of sin: first, the Flood, then the Jaredites, and then the Nephites.
The Civil War came very close to destroying America. Think of it: they had murdered a prophet, cast the righteous out from among them, and ground the faces of the poor with slavery. Abraham Lincoln read the Book of Mormon in 1862, and I believe he took warning from it. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and began declaring days of prayer to return the nation to God. (See The Lincoln Hypothesis by Timothy Ballard)
