What were the sources of the prejudice and discrimination for Mormons?
Joseph Smith, who founded the Mormons, claimed to be a prophet who received revelations from God. Naturally, leaders of other faiths, who did not speak with God, felt threatened by his claims, especially when significant portions of their congregations left to join the Mormons. Mormon doctrine was appealing to many because it seemed logical, and it came with additional scriptures that shed light on otherwise confusing Biblical scriptures. The idea of new scriptures was received as a threat by religions that taught God's words were found exclusively in the Bible. Persecution against Mormons intensified as new revelations lead to their practicing polygamy, which was abhorrent to many. In response to the persecution, the Mormons formed a militia, which many feared they would use for purposes other than self-defense. Joseph Smith was killed while in prison under dubious charges. The Mormons eventually fled the United States in search of religious freedom.

What was the religion of the mob that killed Joseph smith?
Though I suspect that an exact answer / one that is desired, is not possible, I would venture to say that the majority of the mob members were Protestants of various sects. This is reasonable when one considers the geographical area and the time period. Although it is entirely likely that some of the members of the mob were not affiliated with any particular religious group - "Mormons" were also persecuted for their political / economic beliefs (they were anti - slavery in a southern state), it is doubtful that they all belonged to the same religious denomination. Addition: It has also been suspected that some members of the mob were former Mormons were were angry with Joseph Smith for a variety of reasons, but as the previous answer stated, it is very unlikely that all belonged to the same church or religious organization. It was most likely a collection of various Protestants, non-religious people, and former Mormons. Since most that were in the mob were never identified, it would be impossible to know.
