So because I believe Government should keep its nose out of the sacrament of marriage

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thats one big reason the polygamous Mormons ran from state to state...

They were looking for a place they could where the US government couldnt get on their case for their extra “marriages”

There have always been laws in the US against bigamy..

It was called unlawful cohabitation and was a jailable offence..

They finally decided to go to (Mexico) Utah Teritory out of the reach of the long arm of the American law...

If they had just had one wife and obeyed the law they could have settled down and lived peacefully

The ones who stayed in MO and lived decent lives have descendants living there yet...

The Mormons regarded their polygamy as “sacred”
