US General Steven Kearny led a force that included the Mormon Brigade. Mormon leader Brigham Young made a crucial decision to support the US in the war against Mexico. He sent hundreds of of young recruits to aid the US forces in the Southwest. The pay the Mormon soldiers received from the US Army were tithed to the Mormon church and helped Young's embattled colony to survive. This would seem quite a surprise in that Young had settled in the Utah territory to escape the persecution the Mormons had endured while in the time they spent within the US.
