Mormonism was on shaky ground for awhile ...
I think this is probably the best bet. If they hadn't migrated to Utah I think we'd probably have seen several states passing laws that severely limited, if not outright banned Mormonism.
Missouri Executive Order 44. Governor Boggs of Missouri, 1838.
Basically declared open season on Mormons. Leave, or be legally shot on sight.
Technically, it was in force until 1976.
That's about as bad as it's gotten for anyone... and about as bad it could get for anyone; in the US anyway.
