Yes, Joseph Smith was very much against slavery.
Joseph Smith helped the Mormons by creating them! Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) believe that Jesus Christ restored the true New Testament Christian Church through Joseph Smith. Without Joseph Smith, there would have never been a such thing as Mormons. You can learn more about Joseph Smith and how he founded the church at the "Related Links" below.
Scripture does not say much about Joseph after Jesus was twelve years old.
Joseph who left Jesus in Mary's care did not think too much of little Jesus. He left after failing to get Jesus accepted into Egyptian priesthood. If Jesus was Supernatural then Joseph may have stayed and tried to do more to enhance Jesus's gift;
Nothing. Joseph Smith was only 21 in 1827. He married Emma Hale in January, and they spent much of the first year of their marriage lodging with several different relatives.
No. His actual name in Hebrew was Yeshua ben Yosef. There was not a letter "J" at the time in Hebrew or Greek, so it would be translated in today's English as "Joshua, son of Joseph". The majority of the people in His time would have thought that Joseph was His father.
Joseph Smith preached pretty much wherever he went. He went to many places in New England, the northeastern United States, and the Midwest. He was most often in New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois.
According to Christian belief, God was the father of Jesus. That is why Jesus is referred to as the "Son of God." Thus, he is not the son of St. Joseph, who kindly accepted God's plan and understood that his wife Mary would become pregnant miraculously. While they did not have adoption back then, St. Joseph was very much like an adoptive father to the infant Jesus.

Because he had to establish himself as a carpenter and be successful enough to afford a wife. It is believed by most that Mary was in her mid teen years when she carried and gave birth to Emmanuel, God with us, Jesus Christ. Joseph is not heard from after Jesus is age 12. Jesus gave his mother to John when he was on the cross which wouldn't have happened if Joseph was still alive as she was to live in John's house.
As a Mormon (Latter-Day Saint) I don't really know what you mean by this question... it reminds me of Ghost Busters though! Joseph Smith restored the original Christian Church that Jesus Christ set up on the earth. He translated scripture, received visitations from God and Angels, and restored the Priesthood (Authority to lead the church and act in the name of God). He is considered a prophet, seer, and revelator - much like the prophets of the Old Testament.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that Joseph Smith founded their church under the direction of Jesus Christ.Deseret wasn't a city, it was a territory and proposed state that originally covered much of the west including parts of present day Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California.
