"In an attempt to identify emigrant motives within a sociological framework of push and pull factors, I discovered a strong link between the spiritual and temporal motives of the emigrants, encapsulated by their millenarian belief that Christ’s return was at hand. The first section briefly reviews the existing literature on religious emigration from Britain during the mid-nineteenth century, with a particular emphasis on historical accounts and analysis of Latter-day Saint emigration. The second outlines my methodology in selecting and analyzing emigrant accounts. The following section lays out my findings, organized by three central themes: economic factors, revelatory factors, and the doctrine of 'gathering.' For the British Latter-day Saint of the nineteenth century, nearly all motives for emigration—whether economic, social, or religious—could be tethered back to an apocalyptic belief and understanding that their emigration was a necessary part of end-of-times prophecy."
