Polygamy? Do you guys have any Biblical justifications or did Smith/Young have their own visions to justifiy it?
Both -if you read the Old Testament you will know that the ancient Hebrew patriarchs from Abraham to Jacob were polygamists (or at least bigamists).
True, but why did Smith/Young accept it after monogamy became the norm?
That's a good question. According to this
PBS documentary (which I strongly encourage you all to watch if you haven't already), Joseph Smith supposedly received a vision during the Nauvoo, IL period that told him that polygamy was divinely sanctioned. He later pressured his lieutenant Brigham Young into (reluctantly) accepting it as well.
