The Republican party pledged to fight the “twin relics of barbarism”: slavery and polygamy

Ironic that Mormons now overwhelmingly vote Republican

What beef did they have with polygamy?

Jeebus

Generally speaking it's also not wise to have polygamy (as opposed to polyamory) in cultures without a lot of young males dying. Tends to lead to a bunch of horny and angry incels.

The Mormons had it strictly because Mormonism is a cult that was designed for Joseph Smith to get child "brides."
