What are did the Mormons settle?

Answer 1

Which Mormon settlement? Mormon pioneers established hundreds of cities and towns across the United States, Canada, and Mexico in the 1800's. The largest and most well known is Salt Lake City, Utah. They moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois to Utah in search of a place where they could practice their religion in peace. They found this place of peace in Utah, and soon spread out and established settlements all over the west. Some of these settlements were built for strategic purposes such as mining, farming, ranching, or trading.

Answer 2

The Mormons moved west from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois and finally to Utah (which was then part of Mexico) in search of a place where they could practice their religion in peace.
Throughout the United States, the Mormons faced severe persecution for their religious practices and political beliefs. Mormons were not only mocked and had lies spread about them, they were robbed, beaten, forced from their homes, and killed. After the US government said that they could do nothing to protect the Mormons, they decided to move to Mexico in search of religious freedom. Shortly after settling near the Great Salt Lake in 1847, the area was acquired by the United States in the Mexican-American War and the Mormons were again in the United States. Utah became a state almost 50 years later in 1896.

Answer 3

Between 1830 and 1846, the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois. This is because they were persecuted and kicked out of every place they attempted to go. In 1846 they were kicked out of Illinois and went to Utah.

They went to Utah for several reasons. First, before Joseph Smith was murdered, he had prophesied that Church headquarters would have to move to the Rocky Mountains to avoid persecution. Second, Brigham Young saw the place where they should settle in a vision. Third, nobody wanted to live in the area - there was little wood and little water. Many thought it was impossible to survive there because you couldn't grow crops. For a group of people seeking religious freedom, a place nobody else wanted to go was perfect.

Individual members of the Church have always been scattered around the world. Fewer than 10% of Mormons live in Utah, and fewer than 40% live in the United States. They settle wherever they live for a variety of reasons, usually due to their employment, lifestlyle, or family obligations - just like everyone else.
