No, Mormon men do not have two wives. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) may have only one wife (or husband) at a time. In the case of divorce or death, Mormons may remarry. So, a Mormon man might have two wives in his lifetime, but not two wives at the same time.

For a period of time between approximately 1840 and 1890, the Church allowed the practice of polygamy (having more than one wife) as it is practiced in the Old Testament of The Bible. However, since 1890, any Mormon found to be practicing polygamy has been excommunicated from (kicked out of) the church. There were some who were angry with the 1890 ban on polygamy who formed their own breakaway groups. These people often call themselves "Mormon Fundamentalists", but they are not affiliated with the Mormon Church in any way.

Morman population in US?

As of January 2010, there were 6,058,907 baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in the United States. This means that approximately 2% of Americans are Mormons. The concentration of Mormons is much higher in the western US than in the east. For example, in Utah, about 60% of the population is Mormon. Arizona is 6% Mormon, Washington state is 4% Mormon, and Wyoming is 11% Mormon. Compare these numbers to east coast states, such as New Jersey (0.4% Mormon), New Hampshire (0.6% Mormon) and Alabama (0.7% Mormon).

How did Brigham Young help the US in the Mexican War?

US General Steven Kearny led a force that included the Mormon Brigade. Mormon leader Brigham Young made a crucial decision to support the US in the war against Mexico. He sent hundreds of of young recruits to aid the US forces in the Southwest. The pay the Mormon soldiers received from the US Army were tithed to the Mormon church and helped Young's embattled colony to survive. This would seem quite a surprise in that Young had settled in the Utah territory to escape the persecution the Mormons had endured while in the time they spent within the US.
