Why did they make the Mormon trail?
The Mormon trail was taken by a religious group commmonly called the Mormons. They were fleeing religious persecution in the eastern united states and walked to Utah - the path they took is often called the Mormon trail. The Mormon battalion trail is different. The government drafted a couple thousand Mormons to fight in the Mexican American war. The battalion trail is the trail they walked from Utah down through Arizona and into san Diego. They basically just walked there, they never saw a battle or fired a shot. They were allowed to return home around 3 years later.
How did the mormon battalion help the mormons?
The "Mormon Battalion" was not under direction of the LDS church. The battalion was a group of LDS men who had been conscripted into service by the US military to fight in the Mexican-American war. They did not serve the church or other church-members in any direct way. They were marched south to the war, but got there too late. They were reunited with their families a few years later without ever firing a shot. Along the way they helped the US army establish important settlements (e.g. San Diego, CA).
