The Mormon migration occured after Governor Boggs issued an extermination order to kill all Mormons in Missouri. They moved to Nauvoo and established a society and lived there for a good amount of time, and then when the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith was murdered, they moved out across the plains to Salt Lake City. It was the most organized mass migration of people in the history of the US.

The key doctrines of the Book of Mormon include the belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior, the importance of faith, repentance, and baptism, and the idea of a restoration of Christ's original church.

The Mormon Pioneer Trail is a 1,300-mile travelled by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1846 to 1868. The Mormon Trail extends from Nauvoo, Illinois on the Mississipi river, passing through Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Eastern Utah to Salt Lake City, Utah. The Mormon pioneer movement began in 1846 when, after having been driven once again by mob violence from their settled home, the Saints decided to establish a new home for the church outside the established boundaries of the United States. The trail was used for more than 20 years, until the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. Among the emigrants were the Mormon handcart pioneers of 1856-1860. Two of the handcart companies, led by James G. Willie and Edward Martin, met disaster on the trail when they departed late and were caught by heavy snowstorms in Wyoming. Once the Mormons arrived in Salt Lake, some were asked by the Prophet Brigham Young to go settle other places such as Genoa, Nevada; St. George, Utah; Cardston, Alberta, Canada and many other settlements in the territory of Deseret.

The migration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Utah helped the idea of Manifest Destiny progress in that a new territory was settled by the Church. However, there is a subtle distinction between the two migration patterns.
