Historically, Mormons have been very independent. When they were kicked out of several states in the US, they moved to what was then the Mexican desert (what is now Utah) and established their own cities and towns from scratch. They have always been encouraged to be self-sufficient and to avoid bondage through things such as debt, pornography, or habit-forming drugs.

Why did the Mormons move out of Independence?

Why did the Mormons face troubles with their neighbors in Independence Missouri?
Its quite complicated. Basically, in some areas, the Mormons were becoming quite dominant and began to affect the local political races, making the locals quite upset. The locals began to fight the Mormons, trying to kick them out of the area. The violence spread and the state government got involved. The state government decided the best solution was to tell the Mormons to leave the state. The governor issued an extermination order, requiring the Mormons to leave immediately.
