Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 1 Section A: Period studies, then anchor the answer in Part one: Expansion: opportunities and challenges. The evidence should connect to Study why early settlers went west and the challenges faced by Brigham Young, the Mormons, pioneer migrant farmers, the journey west and and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

A common mistake is to write about Mormons as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1840-1895.
Anchor the answer to Part one: Expansion: opportunities and challenges, use precise evidence, and state whether Mormons is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
