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.
No, they aren't.

The US victory in the Mexican-American war meant that the land (now Utah) that was occupied by the Mormons was now a part of the United States.
The Book of Mormon is a religious text that discusses the history and teachings of ancient American civilizations, as well as the importance of faith, repentance, and following Jesus Christ. It is considered significant for Mormons because they believe it to be another testament of Jesus Christ and a companion to the Bible.
Joseph Smith rejected all of it.
No but there have been Mormons on the American Idol show
They adapted well. They built homes, farmed and ranched. Started businesses and expanded across the west.
