A prophet named Joseph Smith was given revelation about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints otherwise known as Mormons. After he started to teach about the gospel he learned about, many did not agree with it and were mad. They thought Joseph Smith was crazy and sent many mobs to hurt him. Other Mormon families were persecuted and ridiculed during the late 1800's and 1900's. Some reasons why people did not like them were because at first they had practiced polygamy although it is not allowed in their religion anymore. Also, they believed they were the only true church and in many different things people just weren't used to. They had to move to many different places in the U.S. and it was extremely hard for them.
What else can I help you with?
What was the primary reason the Mormons founded a permanent settlement in Utah?
The Mormons had spent 17 years travelling from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois in search of a place where they could practice their religion in peace. Shortly before he was murdered in Illinois, the Prophet Joseph Smith said that his followers would find peace in the Rocky Mountains. After he was killed, the government of Illinois asked the Mormons to leave in order to protect the public peace. Most of the Mormons headed west under the direction of Brigham Young, and found the peace and freedom they were looking for in the Rocky Mountains - what is now Utah.

Did nat turner lead the Mormons?
No. Nat Turner led a slave uprising and rebellion in Virginia in the summer of 1831 that resulted in several hundreds of slaves and free blacks being beaten and killed, and laws being passed throughout the south prohibiting slaves and free blacks from receiving an education or gathering in any sort of assembly without a white man present. He was killed shortly after the rebellion. Chances are, Nat Turner never even heard of the Mormons, who started in New York in 1830. Their missionaries had not reached Virginia by 1831, and certainly had not reached any slaves. The Mormons generally only baptized free blacks.
