The Mormons, led by Joseph Smith and later Brigham Young, first moved from their original settlement in New York due to persecution and hostility from local communities. Their beliefs and practices, including polygamy and communal living, led to social and political tensions with non-Mormons. This prompted their relocation to Ohio and later to Missouri, where they sought refuge but faced further violence, ultimately leading to their westward migration to Utah in search of a safe haven.
