Best Answer

The Mormons had spent 17 years travelling from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois in search of a place where they could practice their religion in peace. Shortly before he was murdered in Illinois, the Prophet Joseph Smith said that his followers would find peace in the Rocky Mountains. After he was killed, the government of Illinois asked the Mormons to leave in order to protect the public peace. Most of the Mormons headed west under the direction of Brigham Young, and found the peace and freedom they were looking for in the Rocky Mountains - what is now Utah.
