This article explores the effects of and Mormon reaction to the Edmunds-Tucker act. Specifically: the Mormon Underground, legal (or in many cases, illegal) action against polygamists and suspected polygamists, and the problem of dismantling entire families--what to do with the wives and kids? The often traumatic effect on Mormon children (emotional, psychological), on husbands caught between the law and moral and religious obligations and familial love, and on wives forced into hiding, testifying against husbands and denying knowledge of them, and often caring for several children alone.
