Brigham Young

No, that would be impossible. Females cannot be castrated, because castration is the act of removing the testicles. Testicles are only found on male genitalia.

Brigham Young would not have supported any act which prevented an individual from being able to "multiply and replenish the earth", and certainly would not allow any of his children to undergo such a procedure unless it was intended as a life-saving operation due to cancer or infection.

Brigham Young's 19th wife is said to be Mary Pierce. They were married January 16, 1845 when Brigham Young was 43 and she was 25. Her widowed sister Margaret was married to Brigham Young on the same day.

Brigham Young was a very determined man. He said what he meant, meant what he said, and was not afraid to do whatever it took to accomplish his goals. He was personable and friendly, but knew when to be stern and serious, and had little tolerance for those who were not willing to be 'all in' as he was. (He often said that if people weren't willing to do this or that then they should leave rather than bring everyone else down) This attitude was a huge contributor to his success as a leader and defender of the Mormon people.

The first thing that made him successful was moving to the Salt Lake Valley. This area is surrounded by some very difficult mountainous terrain which is subject to very severe weather, meaning it wouldn't be easy for any enemies to come, and if they did, the Mormons would have plenty of time to prepare.

The second thing that made him successful was his kindness to the Native Americans who lived in the area. For the most part, the Mormons and the Native Americans got along pretty well and were united in their distrust of the US Military and others who were sent to 'keep an eye' on the Mormons.

The third was his knack for order and organization. Brigham Young did an incredible job of organizing the people, assigning them tasks, and ensuring that the whole operation ran like clockwork. Since the people were unified in working for their survival, they had all they needed to survive in the harsh climate.

That's a hard one. Important in what respect? In terms of importance to church history, Joseph Smith was. He restored the fullness of the gospel. Brigham Young was also a prophet though, and led the saints to Utah to escape from persecution, which was also a very big deal. ... in the end, I don't think the question is about who was most important, but just that they both had different parts to play--different things they had to do to serve the Lord. Both were important... and both were insignificant as well, in a way. God would have accomplished his purpose anyway.

Brigham Young was the second prophet and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had successfully led the migration of the church from Illinois to the Salt Lake Valley and quickly began to establish the church in the region.

Because of the persecutions the Saints had suffered and the seemingly callous disregard shown by officials of both state and federal levels of government, Brigham and the other leaders of the church determined to establish their local government more or less after the pattern established by Joseph Smith during their years in Nauvoo. This included establishing a well-organized plat system of development in Salt Lake City, a pattern which was followed by most of the later settlements throughout the new territory.

However, the government established by the Saints was more ecclesiastical than civil in the beginning. Brigham Young, as the senior Priesthood leader of the church, was its de facto political leader until the region became an official territory of the United States. It was for this reason that Millard Fillmore appointed Brigham Young as the first territorial governor of Utah.

He served in this position from early 1851 through about mid-1858 at which point a new governor was appointed to serve in his stead. From that time, Brigham Young limited himself to the affairs of the church over which he was still serving as president.

Smith and Young were persecuted for being the leaders of an unpopular faith. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded in 1830 with Joseph Smith as the president and prophet of the church. The church and all its members were persecuted from the start because of the doctrine. The LDS church teaches that revelation is ongoing and God has chosen a prophet in modern times to lead his people by direct revelation. This was the most controversial doctrine at the time that Joseph Smith was murdered by a mob. Latter Day Saints believe that Brigham Young was called by God to take Smith's position as prophet and president of the church. He lead the saints west to Utah where they would be alone. Brigham Young was persecuted in his own right more specifically because of polygamy (the practice of marrying more than one woman.)

Yes, as were many early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church).

Yes he was great he was a leader of the mormon church and had a clean soul. He beleived in his religion and showed it by his good works.

Brigham Young practiced polygamy because he believed that God had commanded him to do so.

Yes, Brigham Young and his siblings converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) as young adults. Brigham's brother is the one who introduced him to the Church.

Mornos don't exist.

Brigham Young married his first wife, Miriam Works, when he was 23. Miriam died 8 years later and at age 32, Brigham married Mary Angell.

He was later sealed to plural wives as the Church practiced polygamy at the time. The first came when he was 41. Others came when he was 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 51, 54, 61, 63, 66, 68, and 71.
