Due to severe religious persecution, the Mormons abandoned their settlements in the Midwest and migrated to the west. They settled in Utah and surrounding regions, developed the land and towns and cities there, and eventually those regions became states in the Union, thus expanding the US.

Who brought the first Mormons to the us?
Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
