American Mormon fundamentalists and the tradition of “historical” polygamy in the 19th and early 20th centuries
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
The article discusses the features of the tradition of polygamy developed in the American Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints in the 19th and early 20th centuries and continued by modern United States Mormon fundamentalist sects. Mormonism is a form of Americanized Christianity. Mormons played a significant role in the national history of the United States participating in colonization and settlement of the Far West. The Federal government in the last century and a half (since 1862) considered polygamy as a criminal act and refused to carry out the decriminalisation of this practice.
