Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) didn't adapt to be considered American. Historically, Church members who were American Citizens were always considered American Citizens. Those who were citizens of another nation were identified by their citizenship or nationality. From the very beginning of the Church, the Church has had a very extensive foreign missionary program. Many "Mormons" didn't adapt to be considered American because they weren't American. That is still true today, where over 60% of the nearly 14 million Church members live outside of the United States and do not care to be identified as American, because they are citizens of the nations in which they live.

When challenged by the US government the LDS abandoned polygamy.
