Who was president that gave statehood to Mormons?
The "Mormons" were never given a state or made a state. The Mormons suggested a state called Deseret, but it was denied and was never made a state. The state of Utah became a state in 1896 during the administration of Grover Cleveland. The boundaries were drawn by the federal government and the name was chosen by the government as well. The population of the state was mostly Mormon, but there was a sizeable population of other religious groups as well. So, Grover Cleveland gave statehood to Utah, not to Mormons. Most Mormons at the time lived within Utah, but they did not choose the boundaries or the name.

Why did the Mormons resist the Utah Territory becoming a state?
Mormons saw both pros and cons for Utah Territory becoming a recognized state. They were not happy with the extra government control that would come from being a state - Mormons had established Utah's government, political system, legal system, laws, and education system, but much of this would have to be changed or done away with if they were granted statehood. However, Mormons in Utah also wanted to have a say in national politics, vote for president, have representatives in congress, etc. Some Mormons resisted Utah territory becoming a state, but most actually supported the idea. After all, Mormons had been trying to be accepted as a state for decades with their proposed state of Deseret.
