Mormonism was unpopular in the eastern US before the church was even officially founded. Mormons were not well accepted in the eastern US historically for the same reason that they are not well accepted today - they are not traditional and challenge the beliefs and practices that are commonly taught.

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.
