The early saint were given many different revelations telling them to leave the Eastern US. Some reasons are:
- Wars are coming to the US (perhaps the Civil War)
- New Jerusalem/Zion is in west of the Eastern US.
- People in the East sought to destroy the Church.
Even if the Saints weren't giving a reason by the Lord, just the fact that He told them to is a reason.
The saints left the Midwest and headed for the far west due to extreme amounts of persecution in the Mid-West.

∙ 9y agoThe main body of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) fled the eastern United States in the mid-1800's in search of a place where they could practice their religion in peace. They had been run out of New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois due to extreme persecution, violence, and legal action. (in Missouri it was made legal to kill a Mormon!)

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.
