Utah's Website/{{Facebook}} relationship status with [[TheSeveralStates the other 49 states]] would be "It's complicated." The state's history is heavily intertwined with that of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Mormonism}} Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]] (popularly known as Mormons). It was founded as a literal CultColony (in the most academic sense of the word) in 1847 by Mormons fleeing religious persecution in New York, then Ohio, then Missouri (after [[KillEmAll the governor issued an extermination order]]), then finally Illinois where Church founder Joseph Smith, Jr. was assassinated. His eventual successor, Brigham Young, acting on a notion Smith had entertained of [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere emigrating from the United States altogether]], led the largest faction of Mormons [[SettlingTheFrontier out into the wilderness]] in a modern-day Exodus. Utah was Mexican territory [[{{Mexican-American War}} at the time]], and was known mostly for being an inhospitable desert where even the water could kill you by being four times saltier than the ocean -- a place most wagon trains avoided or passed through as quickly as possible on their way to richer, more fertile lands in {{California}} and [[TheOtherRainforest Oregon]]. A place nobody wanted, and hundreds of miles from any place anyone would want.
