Brigham Young brought the Mormon people to what was at the time the Alta California Territory of Mexico. However shortly after their arrival the land became part of the United States due to the Mexican-American War. It remained part of an unorganized territory of the United States for a year until the Mormons suggested the State of Deseret, which encompassed the all of the modern-day state of Utah, as well as portions of Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Arizona, Oregon, New Mexico, and California. The next year their petition was declined and the US Government created what was called "Utah Territory" - which included all of modern Utah, most of Nevada, and sections of Wyoming and Colorado. Over time, the US government re-drew the boundaries of the Utah Territory until finalizing the borders and granting Utah statehood in 1898.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) who were persecuted historically were simply following and practicing their religion. People thought they Mormons strange and didn't want Mormon neighbors, so they'd run them out of town. Mormons only brought it on themselves by being unwilling to compromise their beliefs and principles. They weren't willing to change just to satisfy other people.
