As a condition of statehood, it followed the "Law of the Land"

I believe that the law of the land was written in 1862 to stop Mormon Smithians from their practice of polygamy, Utah never seemed very effective in stopping the Mormon practice.

Is Utah more, or less, effective in fighting and preventing polygamy than the other American states?

Strangely enough; the MORMONs who reminded behind - those who did NOT follow the fool Brigham Young on his ill advised HANDCART trips to Utah - managed to stop POLYGAMY on their own!

To this DAY, they claim that it didn't really happen under JS' watch, and it was BY that got it going so strong out West.
