There were no wars attached to Mormon polygamy. It was quite practical for the 50 years or so it was practiced. There were more female converts than male. The Mormon population was isolated in Utah. It was a convenient way to provide security for unattached females.
I can read up on that — you can read up on Mormon aggression.

Onloy the wars the mormons started themselves over polygamy...
Practical ??? Polygamy is disgusting, foul, abominable and unBiblical.....
Read D&C 132...
Joey Smith “restored” ancient barbarism but Briggy Young perfected it.
Plus it is an “everlasting covenant” for the mormons...
Polygamy was just a sex club for mormon males...
It was worse than pornography and degrading to women...
Plus it was illegal ...it was bigamy..
It was sex abuse on a extremely large scale..
“the principles of celestial marriage
That by it alone can the iniquity of the world be eradicated, and women exalted in heaven? Do you not know that polygamy is to purify the world, and give birth to a holy race, worthy to receive Christ?”
“Love! we leave that to the Gentiles. Saints marry from principle: women to get to heaven, and men to amuse themselves”
There were many more men in Utah than there were women...
There were more than enough men for the women to pick and choose their own husbands...
But they were noyt allowed to legally marry the young men...
They were threatened into being the concubines of perverted old guys..
The mormon population was not isolated...
and if that was going to be such a problem why did Briggy Young take them that far ???
They were fine in nauvoo...
after Joey Smith got himself killed in that shoot out, the mormons remained in Nauvoo for the next TWO YEARS and unmolested...
In Utah, they were in an armed camp, a concentration camp ruled over buy a sensual greedy despot, the theocratic distator and “king” Briggy Young...
Nobody got to leave or enter “his” territory without his permission...
He murdered those who tried to leave,,,
There were no females needing to be the “extra” sex partner to any mormon males for “security...
What was wrong with allowing any unattached to find themselves a husband of their own amongst the thousands of unattached males ???
Or just providing for the unattached females out of the “church” coffers...
Just the cost of one dress of one of Briggy Youngs “favorite” concubine in his harem would have goiven “security to some unattached females for years..
