The early Mormon Church supported and encouraged the practice of polygamy, although this was against the law of the United States. The Church has acknowledged that its founder, Joseph Smith, had as many as 40 wives.
If you are referring to James Buchanan, America's fifteenth president, it is not clear that he prevented any wars. He was president during a very turbulent time in American history, when the country was on the verge of a civil war over the slavery issue. You may be thinking of the so-called "Utah War," but this was not an actual war; it involved an 1857 rebellion, when Mormon settlers in the Utah territory resisted certain actions of the U.S. government. The Mormons were upset that the U.S. government wanted to replace Brigham Young, leader of the Mormons in Utah, with a non-Mormon governor. Mormons believed they had the right to practice their religion in the territory (at that time, their practice included polygamy, which was a very contentious topic to most Americans), while the president evidently believed it was time to rein in the Mormons and make them conform to the norms of other states and territories. Most historians believe Buchanan did not handle things well, and may have even made a tense situation worse. Eventually, thanks to diplomacy, the issues were resolved and the settlers who were accused of rebellion were pardoned by the president.
they were being taxed with out being warned first.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" Church) has and has had enemies because of their unwillingness to budge on certain beliefs and practices. In the 1800's, Mormons created enemies with their practice of 'gathering'. At that time, new converts were expected to move to be near the headquarters of the church. Thus, in every city where the church established itself, large numbers of Mormons soon followed and the sudden influx of outsiders angered those who had lived there previously. The feeling that Mormons were 'taking over' their town caused many non-Mormons to persecute the Mormons until they were forced to leave. This was the case in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois.Another issue in Missouri was that of slavery. Most Mormons were anti-slavery but Missouri was a slave state. Rights of slaves was a huge issue at the time, and the pro-slave Missourians were not happy with the anti-slave Mormons claiming that Missouri was their Zion promised to them by God. This extra political pressure is perhaps what caused the infamous "Missouri Mormon Extermination Order", in which the governor ordered that "Mormons should be exterminated or driven from the state". Once the Mormons found a place they could gather in peace - modern-day Utah - the garnering of enemies didn't end. While most Native American tribes made peace with the Mormons, others were upset that the white settlers were taking over the land and fought against them. Also, having a more stable residence allowed the Mormon practice of plural marriage to expand and become more public. This brought enemies from the federal government. Laws were enacted that resulted in thousands of Mormons being stripped of their civil rights - the church was stripped of all her properties and Mormons were not allowed to vote or hold public office. Hundreds of Mormon men were taken from their families and imprisoned for upholding the tenets of their religion. Eventually, the Mormons had to give up plural marriage or risk the dissolution of their church. The practice of 'gathering' is now more spiritual than physical, and the rights of slaves is practically a non-issue. While they were misunderstood and occasionally misaligned, the church faced a period of relative peace. However, in recent times, enemies to Mormonism and religion in general seem to have increased. Mormons have faced backlash for their defense of Biblical marriage, their all-male priesthood, and conservative moral values. Mormons have also had some of their most sacred beliefs mocked through entertainment and media. Despite all this, most Mormons agree - "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." (2 Timothy 3:12) Mormons have enemies because the purposes of God will always frustrate the plans of the devil.
Richard Nixon was never punished for his crimes
I know that Texas was upset because they liked having the largest state status.
I believe because they suck.
The American colonists were upset because the British government started to tax the Americans.
Brigham Young told Mormons to only do business with other Mormons. This made Fanny Brooks upset because she was Jewish and ran a boarding house in the city. After meeting with her, Brigham Young agreed that she and her boarding house were an exception to the rule and the business continued to stay open.
People who are angered at members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") have many reasons. Some are angered or offended by their conservative moral standards and support for conservative moral ideals, as in the recent gay marriage backlash. Others, mostly evangelical and born-again Christians, are angered about their religious doctrines and picket Mormon buildings. Some are angry when the Church proposes building a new meetinghouse or temple in their neighborhood, as is currently the case in Phoenix, Arizona. Others feel that Mormons are a cult, anti-Christian, oppressive, etc and take out their feelings by vandalizing meetinghouses. Many of those who are angry with the Church or it's members are uninformed. Church leadership usually responds to current events at http://newsroom.lds.org to inform the public as much as possible of their stance on current controversial issues.

Because the white Americans took their land and were killing their people.
Just tell them! Mormons (especially Mormon missionaries) face rejection every single day (often people blatantly ignoring them or being rude or offensive), I promise they are used to it! Sure, it might upset them a bit, but two of the main tenets of Mormonism are agency (the right to choose for oneself) and revelation (the right to receive your own answer from God), so a good Mormon should respect your decision. If you don't believe what the Mormons have been teaching you, simply tell them that you are thankful for their time and willingness to teach you but that you don't agree with what they are saying. Explain that you don't want to continue being taught, but that you will contact them if you change your mind. Just focus on being kind and sincere, and they will be grateful for your honesty, rather than upset.
The Mormons or Church of Latter Day Saints were forced our of Illinois by the Mormon Wars. Many were upset by the Mormon idea of plural marriages. The Mormons took their belongings to Nebraska and moved to Salt Lake City in 1847.
Some were happy to see them go, others who benefitted from the economic boost were disappointed to see them go. The Mormons themselves were often upset, angry, or nervous, but hopeful that God would protect them and lead them to a new home.
It made them pay extra moola
It really depends on the person. Some people are upset by the unconventional beliefs of Mormons, whether it is modern prophets, personal revelation, an open scriptural canon, eternal progression, or baptism for the deceased. Others are upset by what they consider 'oppressive' Mormon moral and organizational standards such as opposing gay marriage, opposing ordination of women, opposing sexual relationships outside of marriage, encouraging traditional gender roles, and opposing unhealthy habits such as alcohol and tobacco consumption. In the past, non-Mormons have been angered by Mormons views against slavery, in their support of women's rights and sufferage, their doctrine of gathering, and their not allowing the ordination of blacks (repealed in 1978).
Its quite complicated. Basically, in some areas, the Mormons were becoming quite dominant and began to affect the local political races, making the locals quite upset. The locals began to fight the Mormons, trying to kick them out of the area. The violence spread and the state government got involved. The state government decided the best solution was to tell the Mormons to leave the state. The governor issued an extermination order, requiring the Mormons to leave immediately.
