Who were the Mormons and why did many of them migrate to the western US?
"Mormons" are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church was originally founded in New York, USA in 1830, but moved several times due to severe persecution. In the east, Mormons were often beaten, raped, robbed, had their homes burned, or were even killed. Eventually the Mormons settled in Utah in 1847. Here, they were finally able to practice their religion in relative peace. Until about 1910, Mormon converts were encouraged to travel to Utah and settle in the western US. This was done for several reasons. First, it would benefit the individual to be near others of the same religious faith, rather than practicing the religion on their own in a farway land. Second, long distance communication then was difficult and unreliable, so it would be hard to keep Church members unified if they were spread around the world. Third, the Church needed people to strengthen and support the main body. Fourth, they believed that God had called them to live close together and live in a relatively communal way. After World War I, however, converts were encouraged to stay in their hometowns/countries rather than emigrate to Utah. The Utah church was strong enough at this point, and thought it best that new converts build up the worldwide church rather than crowd to the church in Utah. Today, there are over 14 million Mormons all over the world, about 40% of Mormons live in America and about 10% of Mormons live in Utah.

What side did Utah fight on during the civil war?
Utah was not a state during the Civil War (1861 to 1865). It was a territory of the United States from 1850 until admitted as a State in 1896. Utah was primarily inhabited by Mormon pioneers and Indians during the Civil War. While many of the Mormons were abolitionists, the Mormon Church advised their men not to enlist in the military forces engaged in the Civil War. In any case, Mormons were largely unwelcome in the east at that time.

Who were the mormons and why did they set up their home in the desert lad of Utah?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" Church) is a religious group founded in upstate New York in 1830. Between 1830 and 1847, the main body of the group traveled from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois due to persecution. They were kicked out of everywhere they tried to settle. Eventually, they moved to what is now Utah. At the time, this was part of Mexico and was a wild land inhabited only by Native Americans. In Utah, they finally found a place where they could practice their religion in peace. Church headquarters remain in Utah today, but 90% of the nearly 14 million Mormons live outside of Utah, and 60% live outside the United States.
