Mostly because of misunderstandings, but we can read throughout The Bible how the Lord's people are always persecuted by those who don't understand, and by those who are deceived by the adversary. It could have been allowed by God to make sure His Saints would stand fast in the truth. It could have been to stretch them and to make them the best they could possibly be.

So that they would be able to practice their religion freely
The Mormons faced very severe persecution in the east. They had been chased out of New York, Ohio, and Missouri and were facing pressure to leave Illinois. Joseph Smith prophesied that the Saints would find peace in the Rocky Mountains, however, he was murdered before this was able to happen. His successor, Brigham Young, lead the majority of Mormons to the west.

No, there is no requirement for all U.S. citizens to practice the same religion. The United States guarantees freedom of religion under the First Amendment of the Constitution, allowing individuals to choose their own beliefs and practices.
Citizens of the United States have an inherent right to practice the religious faith of their own choosing. Considitions under which an individuals freedom of religion could be prohibited would include the practice of human and animal sacrifice.
Early Mormon Pioneers moved to the western U.S. because they had been kicked out of New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. They chose to live in a place that nobody else wanted so that they could be free of persecution. Today there are nearly 14 million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) worldwide. They are in every U.S. state and nearly every nation of the world.
they each were able to practice whatever religion they wanted, as long as it was a form of Christianity.
The Mormon Pioneers finally found a place where they could live in peace in what is now Utah. Here they were able to grow and thrive. Now they have spread throughout the whole world and a prospering nearly everywhere.
They were being persecuted in New York and Illinois and Missouri where they were driven out after Governor Lilburn Boggs passed an extermination order against Mormons. So they migrated towards Utah.
