nowadays they prefer to use the title 'Community of Christ'

Brigham young took the official LDS church to Utah where they carried on with their practice of Polygamy until about 1890

The smaller RLDS - along with Joseph Smith's wife - did not approve of Polygamy and has never practised it

Federal forces were threatened to be used to force a new state constitution if the Church Leaders declined to abolish PolyGamy in the Utah Territories. RLDS members continue to practice PolyGamy in defiance of federally mandated bigamy laws.
