The Saints (nicknamed the Mormons by their enemies) were driven from place to place, under threat of extermination and mob violence from people who disliked their unfamiliar religious doctrine, their political strength as a community, and their propensity for preferring to do business with one another.
After their prophet and leader Joseph Smith was killed by an Illinois mob in 1844, the Saints upped sticks and moved again, for the final time, to the Intermountain West (the territory of Deseret, which covered what is now Utah and Nevada, and parts of Idaho, Arizona, Wyoming, etc.)
