Explanation

Mormonism began in the United States in the 19th century, during the religious revivalism of the Second Great Awakening. After facing hostility and persecution in several places, Mormon members migrated west and settled in what is now Utah. Thus, the best description is that Mormonism arose during the Second Great Awakening and was driven west by conflict with other settlers, many of them Protestants.
