mormon beliefs in theocracy and polygamy alienated many. anti-mormon propaganda was also common; violent attacks were common and the mormons were driven out of state after state. smith was assassinated in 1844 and brigham young led the mormon exodus from the united states to mexican territory in utah in 1847. they settled the mormon corridor. the united states acquired permanent control of this area in 1848 and rejected the mormons' 1849 "state of deseret" proposal for self-governance, and instead established the utah territory in 1850. conflicts between mormons and territorial federal appointees flared, included the runaway officials of 1851; this eventually led to the small-scale utah war of 1857–1858, after which utah remained occupied by federal troops until 1861.
