Can one of you kind ex-mormons brief me on the context?
I googled it because I couldnt remember the specific details:
A polygamist, Young had at least 56 wives and 57 children. He formalized the prohibition of black men attaining priesthood, and led the church in the Utah War against the United States.[4]
Ahh yes, a product of his time. Gross.
Thanks for the summary!
What's doubly amusing is that he was very much an outlier in his day, hence the need to GTFO of Missouri after Joseph Smith got himself shot. A nicely layered meme, if I do say so myself.
