Note: Background to the migration Since its founding in 1830, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latte r-day Saints were often harshly treated and persecuted by their neighbor s, primarily due to their inclination toward social and political unity a nd their unorthodox religious beliefs. There was violence directed again st the Church, its members, and its leader, Joseph Smith. This among oth er reasons caused the body of the Church to move from one place to anothe r- Ohio, Missouri, and then to Illinois where church members built the ci ty of Nauvoo. Missouri Governor Lilburn Boggs issued an extermination ord er against all Mormons living in the state. In 1844 Joseph Smith was kill ed by a mob while in custody in the city of Carthage, Illinois. In 1846, r eligious tension reached its peak, and in 1848 mobs burned the Latter-d ay Saint temple in Nauvoo.
