Who brought the first Mormons to the us?

Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.


Is the US government run by a Mormon theology?

No, definitely not. First of all, there are not nearly enough Mormons involved in the national government to make any major impact. Second, many Mormons would say that the US government today is quite liberal for their taste and worry about the government ignoring the constitution (which Mormons believe was inspired by God), accepting unbiblical moral values (such as cohabitation and homosexuality), and inhibiting the freedom of religion. Many Mormons are also concerned that the current government policies encourage slothfulness, immorality, envy, and greed which corrupt individuals and destroy families. Of course, this is just a generalization, and there are many Mormons who agree with the current government leaders and their policies.

The short-lived war between the US and the Mormons occurred when the US government sent a non-Mormon, unelected appointee to the territory inhabited by the Mormons and announced without discussion that this individual would be the governor. The Mormons refused to accept the imposition of an unelected and unsympathetic government. The US sent the Army to impose the government's will. The Mormons prepared to fight back, and Army arrived, negotiations resolved the conflict, and no hostilities actually took place.
