The Mormon moves from place to place were caused by legal troubles. Utah provided a unique opportunity for the Mormons to establish their own legal system. The coming of territorial status revived the legal controversies, but the government was Mormon-dominated and therefore Mormons had some control. Statehood brought the territory into the national fold and Mormons gradually lost their distrust of law.
