Today we will learn…
History Objective – We will be able to describe some of the reasons why it took Utah nearly 50 years to become a state.
Language Objective – We will read a section of the book with a partner, and answer questions with the information we learn.
Behavior Objective – Work Ethic and Collaboration
Simple Summaries - Look at question #2 in
your study guide. To complete this
question, you need to write a simple summary of each paragraph you read.
Start with the key word for each topic.
After the key word, write what the Mormons thought about the topic you read about.
Then write a description of what non-Mormons thought about the same topic.
These should be opposite ideas.
Work with your group on this activity for 15 minutes. If you finish #2, work on questions 1 & 3.
Example - Unity
Unity – (Mormon point of view) (non-Mormon point of view)

Today we will learn…
History Objective – We will be able to describe the role polygamy played in delaying Utah’s statehood, and the effects anti-polygamy laws had on the people of Utah.
Language Objective – We will listen to the presentation and write down the important details from it that will help us understand this topic.
Behavior Objective – Work Ethic
Polygamy in the Utah TerritoryPublic Opinion & the Laws The Underground & the
Supreme Court
Votes for Women The Manifesto
In the Court of Public Opinion Victorian America was shocked
and fascinated by stories of polygamy.
Many supposedly “true stories” about life in the polygamist Mormon society were published in books. Even the first Sherlock Holmes
story, A Study in Scarlet, was about the scandalous subject.
Public personalities, like Mark Twain, traveled to Utah on the new railroad to see and write about the locals.
Punishing Federal Laws
When the Republican party came to power during the Civil War, they used their position to fulfill their campaign promises to eliminate the “twins of barbarism - slavery and polygamy” in the territory.
Over the next 25 years, legislation was passed to punish polygamists and the LDS Church.
The Laws The Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act (1862) made being
married to more than one person at a time a crime. It also limited the amount of property a church in the
territories could own. The Edmunds Act (1882) stated that polygamy was
punishable by five years in prison and $500 fine. Polygamists could not hold political office, serve on juries or
vote. The Edmunds-Tucker Act (1887) took away suffrage
from all Utah women and polygamist men. Abolished the militia and confiscated all the property of the
LDS Church.
The Underground
When the Edmunds Act was passed, some polygamists went to prison.
The law caused many polygamist men and women to go into hiding through out the Utah Territory.Others went to eastern
states, Canada, Europe, and Mexico.
Polygamy Goes to Court
Members of the Mormon Church believed that polygamy was protected under the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.
The test was Reynolds v. United States. The court ruled that, while religious beliefs
were protected, religious practice was subject to the laws of the land.
Cohabs and Informers
Federal Officials were sent to Utah to conduct “cohab hunts.”
Informants were paid $20 for each polygamist who was arrested as a result of their information.
Many men went to prison rather than abandon their families.
The Passing of LDS Leaders
In 1877, Brigham Young died in Salt Lake City.
John Taylor became the president of the LDS Church.
He told polygamist men that it was better to go underground than go to prison.
Taylor died in hiding in 1887.
Woman’s Suffrage
People who heard the stories of polygamy, true and false, thought that Mormon women were oppressed.
Many believed that if Utah women could vote, they would end polygamy in Utah Territory themselves. Only Wyoming women had the
vote before Utahns.
Women’s Suffrage Revoked
When it became clear that the women of Utah were not turning on polygamy, the Edmunds-Tucker Act took away their right to vote.
Utah women remained actively involved in the women’s rights movement that eventually resulted in female suffrage at a national level.
The Manifesto
As the end of the 19th century approached, it became clear to the Mormon community that they would never be able to live their religion as they believed they should.
Church President Wilford Woodruff issued a Manifesto that advised LDS church members to not enter into any more polygamist marriages.
Polygamy and the LDS Church Today
The official LDS church has not practiced polygamy since the Manifesto.
A second Manifesto in 1904 made polygamy an excommunicatable action in the LDS church.
Splitter groups, such as the FLDS Church, still practice polygamy.
A Roadblock Removed
This eliminated one of the last roadblocks to Utah becoming a state.
However, Utah still needed to convince the rest of the nation that they were ready to become full citizens of the nation.
