You probably know what I am going to say, just from reading the title.
Mormonism was caused by the Industrial Revolution. A huge event we have never understood very well.
Joseph Smith, the creator of Mormonism, was also a spokesperson for Industrialization.
This emphasized more of everything, and to Smith's mind, this meant more wives.
This was not accepted by Joseph Smith's own wife Emma, who threatened to divorce him. To prevent this, he gave her a lot of his property. Which forced her to stay in Nauvoo after his death.
She never mentioned any of this to her sons, who became involved in the RLDS church.
