Best Answer

Joseph Smith attempted to employ the same solution to religious persecution as the Puritans of England, that is, he tried to move away. He moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois, but it didn't work. He was murdered. His successor moved to Utah. That was much farther. That worked.
