Mormons
The first years of the Church, Mormons moved often, because they were searching for the place to "found God's kingdom" which was a pull factor since they were drawn to leaving the place they originated at. Also they faced an on-going attack of anti-Mormon propaganda and sometimes complete mistreatment as that is a push factor because they were basically pushed out by the other anti-Mormon people.
Their first move was from New York to Kirtland, Ohio, where they had been invited by Sidney Region, a former Disciples of Christ preacher who was attracted by Smith's advocacy of a communitarian lifestyle in 1831.
They bought land, set up businesses, constructed a temple, and sent out dozens of missionaries across Ohio and to the West. Their membership grew rapidly, but their growth, along with their debts and other financial difficulties, aroused resentment in the surrounding communities.
In 1837, they left Kirtland for a new settlement near Independence, Missouri. There, too, they faced overwhelming hostility from other settlers who disliked Mormon proselytizing and had no desire to see the Mormon kingdom erected in their midst. After encounters with an armed militia, the Mormons were forced to flee to Nauvoo, Illinois, where they arrived in 1839.
Utah became a formal territory of the United States in 1850, and old conflicts between Mormon ways and the laws and norms of American cultural norms. They have nonetheless maintained their distinctive character, while becoming an accepted and vibrant element of the American religious milieu.
