Answer

Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had 56 wives. He entered into these plural marriages based on his religious beliefs, which included the practice of polygamy. Young believed that it was a commandment from God and that it would bring blessings to him and his family. However, polygamy was later discontinued by the church in 1890 due to pressure from the U.S.
