Being there was a huge mistake, almost anywhere else would have been better. But their leader, Joseph Smith, did not know this. Missouri was eas trying to be a slave or a free state. And the people there were not so nice.
As a result, he ended up in prison, in Liberty Jail. And his followers had to leave the State, leaving their possessions behind them.
Eventually, much later, they returned, after things had settled down in Missouri, and a Civil War had been fought over the slavery issue.
