Why did Mormons move out of New York?
In the first year of it's organization, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormons") moved it's headquarters from Palmyra, New York to Kirtland, Ohio. This is because missionaries sent to Kirtland had converted so many that there were more members in Kirtland than in Palmyra.
The main body of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) moved from New York to Ohio in 1831, where Church headquarters was located until 1838. Many groups moved from Ohio to Missouri between 1832 and 1838, when an extermination order forced them from Missouri as well. In 1838 to 1845, most Mormons and Church headquarters was located in Illinois. After their prophet was killed in 1844, the local government asked the Mormons to leave in order to avoid further violence. They left in 1845, stayed several months to prepare and gather supplies in Nebraska, and moved on to Utah in 1847.
Each move the Mormons made was in search of a place where they could practice their religion in peace. Each place they went they were hated, persecuted, even robbed and sometimes killed in an effort to get them to leave.

Who do the Mormon believe Jesus brother is?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ is everyone's spiritual brother, because God the Father is the spiritual Father of both Jesus and all of mankind. We are all brothers and sisters in God's eyes - including Jesus.
They support this belief from the Bible, which states that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (see Matthew 3:7; 4:3; 14:33; 16:16; 27:43; Mark 1:1; Mark 5:7; Luke 1:35; John 3:16; Acts 3:26) and that we are the children of God (see Deuteronomy 14:1; Psalm 82:6; Hosea 1:10; Malachai 2:10; Acts 17:29; Romans 8:16; Ephesians 4:6 ).

Once the railroad was completed, converts from Europe and the Eastern U.S. could take a train from New York to Utah.
How did the Mormons exhibit independence?
Historically, Mormons have been very independent. When they were kicked out of several states in the US, they moved to what was then the Mexican desert (what is now Utah) and established their own cities and towns from scratch. They have always been encouraged to be self-sufficient and to avoid bondage through things such as debt, pornography, or habit-forming drugs.

Church doctrine is a very broad question. In its briefest form, church doctrine could be summarized like this:
Christ sacrificed Himself so that by faith and obedience to the commandments, you and your loved ones can live again in the presence of God after death.
There is a mountain of church doctrine, but it all points back to that central fact.

What do Mormens believe about African Americans?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have no religious doctrines or beliefs specifically about African Americans. Many Mormons believe that blacks of African descent are descendants of Noah's son Ham, which is a common belief among many Biblical scholars. For a period of time between about 1845 and 1978, the Mormon Church prevented blacks of African descent (including those living in Africa or other nations) from holding leadership positions in the Church. There were a few exceptions to this rule. This was a very unpopular policy among church members, and blacks have been welcome in leadership roles since 1978. However, the Mormonism remains unpopular among many blacks, especially African Americans, who tend to stay in traditionally 'black' churches, such as African Methodist Episcopalian, National Baptist, and Church of God in Christ.
Do Mormons believe Jesus was born a Jew?
Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) use the King James Version of the Bible, which explains that Jesus is a descendant of David and was born to faithful Jewish parents. As a child he attended all the Jewish festivals and worshipped at the synogogue. His life and teachings in the New Testament show that he had deep understanding of Jewish tradition and doctrine, and that He tried to show symbolically in all aspects of His life that He was the prophesied Messiah.
