They took some of the 'wild' out of the west and set up the first settlement in the west based around religion rather than mining, lumber, or fur trapping.
Techincally, you could say that the Mormon migration ended in the early 1900's, before World War 1. At this time, Church leaders asked members to stop moving to Utah and instead stay in their home countries or towns so that they could help build up the Church there.
Unlike the pioneers who went west on the Oregon trail to find new land to farm & ranch. The Mormon migration was unique in that the Mormons were heading into the American West to find a safe haven from persecution. Mobs in Illinois had burned their homes, killed their prophet and had forced them to flee Illinois. The federal government didn't come to their aid, even though the constitution granted them 'FREEDOM OF RELIGION'. They had no other choice.
The migration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Utah helped the idea of Manifest Destiny progress in that a new territory was settled by the Church. However, there is a subtle distinction between the two migration patterns. Manifest Destiny was the idea that the United States had the moral privilege of expanding from coast to coast; the Church migration, on the other hand, was done out of necessity to escape persecution and was done as a group of colonists rather than as agents for United States expansion.
Depends on what you mean... but I'll try.There is migration, chain migration, forced migration, voluntary migration, net-in migration, net-out migration, immigration, emmigration, countermigration.These are Human Geographic terms by the way. That makes about 9 types of migration.
Over 70,000 people traveled the Mormon trail in a period of about 25 years, not counting supply wagons, missionaries heading abroad, or those leaving Utah. It would be impossible to know how many wagons in total travelled the Mormon trail.
It was not a migration they were forced out of every other state they tried to settle by the government!!!!
Brigham Young!
The positive impacts are that the losing country will have less people, so that the people left will have more chance to actually get a job.
Countryside to city Remote area to city :)
The Mormon pioneers ended their migration at huge empty valley with very little fresh water and even less vegetation, inhabited by a handful of Native Americans. The valley is now called the Salt Lake Valley and is has a population of over 1 million.

The Mormons travelled west to escape religious persecution. They were looking for a place where they could practice their religion in peace.
Meaning where did they go? The final destination was Salt Lake City, Utah. The migration lasted from 1846 until about 1900, when the Church leaders began to encourage the members to stay in their homelands rather than migrate to Salt Lake City.
They abandoned their cities, their communities, and their countries. Thus, this created abandoned strips of land, as well as ghost towns. This created havoc for their local economies.
I believe that one negative is that where the animals migrated from there will be less food there since there will be no animals to hunt and it will more than likely be cold enough for plants to die.
