How long did it take the Mormons to get statehood?
"Mormons" are not a state, they are a religion. The Mormons have never been granted statehood, and doing so now would be near impossible as Mormons are scattered all over the globe and come from many different nations.The Mormons did once apply for statehood with the state of Deseret, a large area that covered much of what is now Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. This was not granted by the federal government, who instead drew the state borders we have today. Mormons are credited with postponing Utah's statehood with their practice of polygamy. Mormons abandoned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was finally granted statehood in 1896.
What was one of the reasons Utah territory was denied statehood?
One of the primary reasons Utah Territory was denied statehood was due to concerns over its practice of polygamy, which was publicly endorsed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). This practice was viewed with suspicion and moral outrage by many in the rest of the United States, leading to significant opposition in Congress. Additionally, tensions between the federal government and local leaders further complicated Utah's path to statehood. Ultimately, it wasn't until the church officially renounced polygamy in 1890 that Utah was able to gain statehood in 1896.
Utah was not admitted as a State until the Mormon Church had prohibited?
The Mormon Church banned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was admitted as a state in 1896. This wasn't the only condition to Utah's statehood, but it was a factor.
Were there any people discouraging Utah's statehood?
To achieve Statehood Utah went through a 46 year struggle to become the 45th US State. In part this delay was caused by the US Civil War. The primary hinderance was the polygamist stand of the early Mormon settlers. By comparison Oklahoma the 46th State became a Territory in 1890 and achieved Statehood in 1907.
