Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the New Jerusalem is not yet built. Zion, the New Jerusalem, is a city that will exist during the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ, after His Second Coming.
But yes, they do believe that the New Jerusalem will be built on the American Continent. In fact, one of their 13 Articles of Faith says, "We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American Continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and that the earth will be renewed and receive it's paradisiacal glory."
As for why they believe that, their belief is based on Biblical, Book of Mormon, and modern revelations. For example, Ether 13:3-12 in the Book of Mormon discusses the Second Coming, Gathering of Israel, and the New Jerusalem. It specifically says, "a New Jerusalem should be built upon this land", meaning the land of America. Revelations given to Joseph Smith and recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants give further information as to how Zion will be organized and where it will be built.

What was Mormonism feelings in the US?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have very strong feelings about the United States. Mormons believe that the American Continent was preserved as a 'land of promise' for God's people who were separated from the Israelites. (Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 2:20) Mormons believe that America will be the site of Zion at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Doctrine & Covenants 57:1-3) and that during the Millennial Reign, Christ will rule from both Jerusalem and the American Zion simultaneously (Isaiah 2:3). Most Mormons also believe that America was the home of Adam and Eve. (Doctrine & Covenants 107:53) Mormons believe that the history of the United States of America was predicted anciently by prophets of God (Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 13:12-19) and that the Constitution of the United States was divinely inspired by God (Doctrine & Covenants 101:80).
Do mormons believe they are to inherit israel as the chosen ones?
No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the Jews are to inherit Israel, as promised in the Bible. Mormons believe that Zion, the New Jerusalem, will be established in the United States. During the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, He will rule from both centers (Israel and Zion). As the Bible states, "The law shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." (Micah 4:2) Mormons believe that they will establish and inherit Zion as the chosen people of the last generation.
