Early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) were driven out of Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois due to mob violence and government order. When the church was first started in New York, they were not treated well but things did not escalate to the point where they felt they were forced to leave as it did in the other three states.
