Best Answer

Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) played a big role in the American colonization of the West and settled much of what is today Utah, southern Idaho, western Wyoming, northern Arizona, and eastern Nevada. Mormons also facilitated the California Gold Rush and the Oregon Trail because their settlements served as crucial trading stops on the route to the coast.

What have the Mormons contribute to America?

The Mormons contributed to America because they believe that America is a special nation and that God was involved in its founding. In the Book of Mormon, the American continent is described as the 'Promised Land', the place where Zion will be established. The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church says that the constitution of the United States was established by God and that the Founding Fathers recieved inspiration from Him. (section 101:80) For these reasons, Mormons (at least American Mormons) love America and strive to serve their country.

Why Were Mormons outlawed in America?

The Mormons were never outlawed in America. They were kicked out of several states and the federal government refused to help them. After moving to Utah the government was suspicious so they sent an army regiment to keep an eye on them. Later, the government seized all their property until they promised to stop practicing polygamy. Now, the Mormons and the government have a much better relationship and every US president for at least half a century has met with Mormon leaders.
