Plural marriage in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints offered a different perceptive on family for many people in the United States. Some people agreed with it, but most largely disagreed with this practice. This thesis analyzes just how plural marriage was practiced in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and just how it altered American perceptions of family for better and worse.
