"A resposta dos homens que foram introduzidos em poligamia entre 1841 e 1846 eram tudo menos entusiasmado. O mesmo aconteceu com as mulheres que receberam a chance de se tornar esposas plurais. Além do fato de que o novo sistema colidiu com as suposições morais que cresceram, havia dificuldades práticas que tornaram a poligamia menos atraente. Para os homens apoiarem esposas adicionais raramente era fácil."

--- Leonard J. Arrington

Versão em inglês

The response of the men who were introduced into polygamy between 1841 and 1846 was anything but enthusiastic. The same was true of the women who were offered the chance of becoming plural wives. Apart from the fact that the new system collided with moral assumptions they had grown up with, there were practical difficulties that made polygamy less attractive. For the men to support additional wives was seldom easy.
