The Mormon pioneers moved to Utah for several reasons. First, the prophet Joseph Smith prophesied that they would find protection and peace in the Rocky Mountains. Second, Utah was a place where no white people lived, and where no white people wanted to live - so they could be free from persecution. The Native Americans there were relatively friendly and willing to work together with them, allowing the Mormons to live there successfully. Third, Utah at the time was a part of Mexico. The United States government had refused to protect the Mormons and some Mormon leaders had been accused of treason when they fought for their freedom to worship, so moving to a new country was a fresh start.
