The Mormons had been severely persecuted and kicked out of several settlements throughout the US. Local authorities could not help them, and the national government refused, so the Mormons left to Mexico in hopes of finding freedom and peace.

Very shortly after arriving in Mexico, the territory they settled became part of the United States and is now Utah.
