24 - The Manifesto and the Beginning of the End of Polygamy

Ben Finch

The church overview article and the Latter-day Saint History video did a great job succinctly providing background to the end of polygamy. You can tell that this issue was super hard for a lot of people to end. It is still super crazy to me that the US government was really going to confiscate the church's property. It's also quite funny to me that Wilford Woodruff rarely wrote about it in his journal (to be fair he rarely wrote anything in his journal).
