the mormons faced many problems, firstly they lived far away from any civilisation causing isolation to all the mormons, they also couldn't recieve any supplies/food or resources from the east as it was too difficult this meant that they had to live completely off the land which proved hard because the land was not the most inhabitable, they faced rivalry from many people because of their beliefs such as polygamy and that black slaves should have freedom.

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.
