From what I know it's because most Americans don't like the French. So instead of calling them "French fries" (although French fries were not invented in France) we called them Freedom fries. The name was changed as part of an idiotic propaganda campaign.
Fries were always called French fries in America. until George Bush decided that it was necessary to attack Iraq. He attempted to enlist the aid of the United nations in this adventure. The French did not want the UN to be involved in a war of aggression and voted against the proposal. American interests were so annoyed by this that they changed the name of French Fries to freedom fries in protest. So besides not becoming involved in a pointless war the French also got a good laugh out of it.

What other groups in earlier American history came to north America for similar reasons as the Mormons?
The Mormons did not 'come to' America, they began here. They travelled across the country and eventually left it in search of religious freedom. Shortly after leaving, the territory where they had moved was taken over by America in the Mexican American War and they were once again living on American soil. Nearly 200 years prior to the formation of Mormonism in America, several religious groups came from Europe in search of religious freedom, including the Puritains and the Brethren.

Are french fries French?
They are called french fries because of the way they are cut and the way they are cooked. In cooking, a long thin cut is called a french cut, and then of course they are fried, so you get french fries.
