Although the LDS movement had split into several denominations after Smith's death in 1844, most members aligned themselves with Brigham Young and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Under Young's leadership, about 14,000 Mormon citizens of Nauvoo set out to find a new home in the West. They were compelled to begin their exodus on February 4, 1846. On that night, 3,000Mormons crossed the river. The ferry was in operation all day and all night for several days, see related link below.

Why did Brigham Young led the Mormons to move from their original homes?
Brigham Young lead members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") from their homes in Nauvoo, Illinois because the Illinois State Militia requested they leave the state by February, 1846. They crossed the Mississippi river into Iowa on February 2, and stayed in Nebraska for one year before moving on to Salt Lake City, Utah.There had been a lot of mob violence against the church members at the time (including the murder of the church's prophet, Joseph Smith, and other church leaders), and the State no longer was willing to put up with the violence. They repealed the Nauvoo Charter and asked the Saints to leave by February, so they did.The Mormons had been kicked out of other places before Nauvoo due to mob violence, including Kirtland, Ohio and Jackson County, Missouri. The governor of Missouri even issued an extermination order against them in 1838.
