Its quite complicated. Basically, in some areas, the Mormons were becoming quite dominant and began to affect the local political races, making the locals quite upset. The locals began to fight the Mormons, trying to kick them out of the area. The violence spread and the state government got involved. The state government decided the best solution was to tell the Mormons to leave the state. The governor issued an extermination order, requiring the Mormons to leave immediately.

Why did Gov Ford not protect the Mormons in Illinois after he promised to protect them from the mob attacks?
There are several reasons why Gov Ford didn't protect the Mormons. One he was concerned about retaining his position as Governor and being reelected. the people that opposed the Mormons were politically powerful and had great influence with the Governor. They told the Governor that the Mormons were causing the problems and that the rest of the population were only protecting themselves. They made the Governor believe that the Mormons were threatening the safety of the rest of the population. So he issued the extermination order. The Mormons either had to leave the State of Missouri or be exterminated.

Was Abraham Lincoln Mormon?
No. Abraham Lincoln was most definately not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). In fact, he disapproved of what the Mormons believed and practiced, but decided he would focus his efforts on the Civil war and leave the Mormons alone. This is what he had to say about the Mormons: "When I was a bory on the farm in Illinois there was a great deal of timber on the farm which we had to clear away. Occasionally we would come to a log which had fallen down. It was too hard to split, too wet to burn, and too heavy to move, so we plowed around it. Thats what I intend to do with the Mormons. You go back and tell Brigham Young that if he will leave me alone, I will leave him alone." (see 'Much Ado about Mormons' by Rick Walton; Copyright 2011, Covenant Communications)

The Mormons went to Utah to avoid persecution by hostile mobs. They had been chased out of almost every city or state they had inhabited or founded.
