How far were the Mormons to blame for their own troubles?
Most of the troubles and persecution the Mormon Pioneers faced were due to people not agreeing with their doctrinal beliefs. They didn't want people who were crazy enough to believe that there are prophets and that people see God and angels living near them. But the Mormons weren't about to change, and still believe and are persecuted for these things today.
There are some accounts of Mormon pioneers in the Midwest, particularly in Missouri,
being arrogant to their neighbors. 'Gentile' neighbors were upset at Mormon
neighbors who had said things like "God chose us and gave us this land to build Zion."
Or "You will either have to convert or leave." But these seem to be pretty isolated
incidents, surely the majority of their persecution is not based on the few who were
arrogant.
I think the biggest way they are to blame for their own persecution is that they moved
into towns that other people had already settled. Just think of it, what if your town
suddenly doubled in population because a huge group of people that you don't agree
with just moved in? They would now have a huge influence on politics, commerce, and
all of public life… your first reaction would be to get rid of them!

Why were the Germans willing to blame Jews and Communists for their troubles?
It is easier to blame others for your troubles. To pick groups that are already seen as a threat to society thereby reaffirming people's prejudices is even easier. It has been done before is done now and will continue to be done as long as humans exist.

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.

Does the chorus blame just Antigone for her troubles in 'Antigone'?
No, the chorus does not blame just Antigone for her troubles in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus characterizes Theban Princess Antigone as foolish and reckless. They describe her as uncontrolled and wild, like her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus. But they also mention that she is the cursed daughter of cursed parents and the cursed descendant of the cursed Theban royal house of Labdacus.
