The Mormon pioneers were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), also known as Latter-day Saints, who migrated across the United States from the Midwest to the Salt Lake Valley in what is today the U.S. state of Utah. At the time of the cease fire and planning of the exodus in 1846, the territory was owned by the Republic of Mexico, which soon after went to war with the United States over the annexation of Texas. Salt Lake Valley became American territory as a result of this war.
The journey was taken by about 70,000 people beginning with advanced parties sent out by church fathers in March 1846 after the assassination of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith made it clear the faith could not remain in Nauvoo, Illinois—which the church had recently purchased, improved, renamed and developed because of the Missouri Mormon War setting off the Illinois Mormon War. The well organized wagon train migration began in earnest in April 1847, and the period (including the flight from Missouri in 1838 to Nauvoo) known as the Mormon Exodus is, by convention among social scientists, traditionally assumed to have ended with the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.

Question 9 - AIDS
The advancements in the medical field have contributed to control of some diseases that were deadly in the past, or total elimination of them. But the medicine has limited power, and it is not almighty, and one of the disease that it can not cure, but only partially regulate is the AIDS. The AIDS is a relatively new disease, starting off less than a century ago. It spread out very quickly though, as one of the easiest ways for it to be transmitted is through sexual intercourse. It affected people from all over the world, from all races, from all backgrounds and social hierarchies.
