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.

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.

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.
