  • Religious utopians that stressed traditional values like patriarchal power, frugality, and close-knit communities 
  • Joseph Smith Jr - founder of Mormonism & wrote the Book of Mormon in 1830
  • First Mormon settlement was Nauvoo, Illinois and Smith attempted to secede this territory to make his own nation, but his attempt failed and Smith was arrested for treason 
  • Mormons were often persecuted by others due to religious and cultural differences, which caused them to struggle to find a home, and led them to colonize outside of the US (old Mexican territory; present day Utah)
  • Brigham Young was the Mormon leader after Smith; he led Mormons on the Mormon Trail to Utah and governed the Utah settlement after it gained statehood
