Mormons were harshly persecuted and ran out of places like Nauvoo, Illinois, and Kirtland, Ohio. Because of the intolerance of the people around those northern areas, the saints were forced to migrate to the southwestern states. God led them to Utah, a place where they would stay and flourish without persecution. When they arrived, Brigham Young, the leader and prophet during that time, declared that it was the place they would stay.

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.
