It wasn't any single or specific thing that the Mormons said which caused them to leave Ohio, it was a combination of many things.
First, new converts were encouraged to gather to Ohio. This was frustrating to locals, who saw that their towns were becoming overrun with Mormons. There weren't enough jobs or houses to fit them all, and as they became the majority, it affected the politics and culture of the region. This was especially frustrating to those who found the Mormon beliefs to be strange or offensive.
Secondly, Joseph Smith wanted the Mormons to begin gathering in Missouri. The violence against Mormons in Missouri was often worse than it was in Ohio, but still many of the faithful left to Missouri to follow the prophet's wishes.
Most of the Mormons left Ohio by 1838 to move to Missouri and Illinois, although some stayed for several more years. Today (2013) there are almost 59,000 Mormons living in Ohio.

Was Abraham Lincoln Mormon?
No. Abraham Lincoln was most definately not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). In fact, he disapproved of what the Mormons believed and practiced, but decided he would focus his efforts on the Civil war and leave the Mormons alone. This is what he had to say about the Mormons: "When I was a bory on the farm in Illinois there was a great deal of timber on the farm which we had to clear away. Occasionally we would come to a log which had fallen down. It was too hard to split, too wet to burn, and too heavy to move, so we plowed around it. Thats what I intend to do with the Mormons. You go back and tell Brigham Young that if he will leave me alone, I will leave him alone." (see 'Much Ado about Mormons' by Rick Walton; Copyright 2011, Covenant Communications)

What are the bad things that they say about Mormons?
Many things that people say against Mormons simply come from someone who is uninformed or has a different opinion. This does not mean that it is bad, but it is often offensive. Those who are uninformed or misinformed often say: -Mormons are polygamist (this practice was banned by the church over 120 years ago in 1890) -Mormons dont believe in the Bible (Mormons consider the King James Version of the Bible as sacred scripture and are encouraged to study it daily) -Mormons don't believe in Jesus (Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, just like all Christians) -Mormons are cultish (Mormons live and dress and act just like most anyone else in society. They do not live on compunds, etc.) -Mormons worship Joseph Smith (Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, just like Moses or Abraham, not a god to be worshipped) -Mormons kidnap, brainwash, coerce, etc (Mormons wish everyone to make their own decisions, and define their standards by Scripture) Those who have different opinions and say things that are offensive to Mormons often say: -Mormons are not Christian (Mormons are not traditional Protestant Christians, but they do still believe in the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ.) -Mormons are lying (Mormons honestly believe they are telling the truth) -Mormonism is a pyramid scheme (Mormons believe in paying a Tithe and in missions work to gain converts, but believe this is Biblically based and do not seek converts for monetary gain) -Mormons are unbiblical (Mormons believe that they are following the Bible very strictly, but the Bible can be interpreted differently by different people) -Mormonism is false (this is obviously just an opinion, but one that is often offensive to those who honestly believe)
