"After the Prophet Joseph Smith received revelation directing him to teach the principle of plural marriage, some Church members began practicing plural marriage under his direction in the early 1840s. In subsequent decades, the Church experienced public opposition because of this practice. “After receiving revelation, President Wilford Woodruff issued the … Manifesto [Official Declaration 1], which was accepted by the Church as authoritative and binding on October 6, 1890. This led to the end of the practice of plural marriage in the Church” (Official Declaration 1, introduction). Even while the Saints experienced opposition, they worked diligently to build temples, where they received saving ordinances for themselves and for the dead. They built and dedicated five temples between 1846 and 1893." [Introduction from the online lesson at lds.org]
