Techincally, you could say that the Mormon migration ended in the early 1900's, before World War 1. At this time, Church leaders asked members to stop moving to Utah and instead stay in their home countries or towns so that they could help build up the Church there.

Impacts of Mormon migration?

They took some of the 'wild' out of the west and set up the first settlement in the west based around religion rather than mining, lumber, or fur trapping.


What ways was the Mormon migration unique?

Unlike the pioneers who went west on the Oregon trail to find new land to farm & ranch. The Mormon migration was unique in that the Mormons were heading into the American West to find a safe haven from persecution. Mobs in Illinois had burned their homes, killed their prophet and had forced them to flee Illinois. The federal government didn't come to their aid, even though the constitution granted them 'FREEDOM OF RELIGION'. They had no other choice.

How where mining towns different from Mormon towns?

Mining towns were different than Mormon towns mostly because mining towns were focused on getting rich and mining, and Mormon towns were focused on religion rather than money. Mining towns were more 'rough and tumble' or 'wild west' than Mormon towns, which were more peaceful and civilized and had a lot more women and children. However, in the west, some Mormon towns were also mining towns. Nevertheless, most Mormon towns were farming, ranching, or industrial communities.
