The Mormon pioneers were forced to move several times by the people in the cities they were living in. Sometimes their homes were burned down and they were taunted and persecuted until they left. Other times they were forced out by governmental decrees. In Missouri, Governor Lillbourn W. Boggs issued an 'Extermination Order' to exterminate all Mormons from the state. This order remained on the books until the 1970's.

Who brought the first Mormons to the us?
Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
