"Mormonism arose from the Second Great Awakening but was driven by Protestants into present-day Utah."
Brief explanation: The Latter-day Saint movement began in upstate New York in the 1820s (Joseph Smith) during the revivalism of the Second Great Awakening. Hostility and violent persecution by local non-Mormon populations (mostly Protestant) forced successive migrations westward, culminating in Brigham Young's 1847 settlement of the Salt Lake Valley.
