Why did Mormons move to the west?
The Mormons moved to the west because they were trying to leave the United States. They had been kicked out of Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, and thought they would try their luck in what was then Mexico. Also, Joseph Smith had prophesied a few years before his death that the Church would eventually move to the Rocky Mountains. Soon after the Mormons arrived there, the United States took over the area.
When did the Mormons in Utah try to take over the US government?
Never. The Mormons moved to Utah and set up their own government for awhile, until the federal government took control, but the Mormons never tried to take over the US government. That would have been so impossible that the thought probably never came up. A group of 50-60 thousand (including children) living 2,000 miles from Washington D.C. at that time would never dream of such an undertaking.
How did Mormons help pilgrams?
Mormonism began in 1830, over 100 years after the pilgrims. Therefore the Mormons never had an opportunity to help them.

The state with the largest number of Mormons is Utah with 1.8 million Mormons. The state with the fewest number of Mormons is Rhode Island, with about 4,000 Mormons.
What war almost broke out between the Mormons?
The Mormon War of 1858 was not between the Mormons, but between the Mormons (living in the territory of Deseret), and the US Army, sent to bring the Mormons into subjugation over their refusal to recognize the authority of an abusive, unelected, federally-appointed governor.
Did Brigham Young and the Mormons start over 300 colonies?
