Question

Why did the Mormon faith come under new attack while they were settled in Nauvoo, Illinois? Why did the Mormons eventually leave?

Answer 1

Because they practiced polygamy. They were tarred and feathered, and were actually ran out of their homes by bands of men on horseback.

Answer 2

Answer:  

It was in Nauvoo that Joseph Smith announced his most controversial revelation, plural marriage, or polygamy. When a newspaper exposed the Mormon practice of polygamy, Smith became outraged. He ordered the destruction of the newspaper’s press, which led to his arrest. An angry mob stormed the jail where Smith was being held, and he was killed. A Nauvoo charter asked the Mormon community to leave.
