Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) are sometimes targets for persecution because people do not understand them or do not like their beliefs and practices.
The Mormons were hoping to find the freedom to practice their religion in peace and without persecution.
After the Book of Mormon was found, people became angry. They martyred the Prophet Joseph Smith. Afterwards, persecution for the Mormons became worse, and they decided to move to Utah for a place to live without persecution.

The church started in New York, but local persecution drove the Latter Day Saints (LDS) to Ohio and Illinois. Persecution in both those places wound up driving the saints to Utah.
