Early Mormon Pioneers moved to the western U.S. because they had been kicked out of New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. They chose to live in a place that nobody else wanted so that they could be free of persecution.

Today there are nearly 14 million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) worldwide. They are in every U.S. state and nearly every nation of the world.
