The Manifesto and the End of Plural Marriage (Gospel Topics essay)

This is not a separate work: it is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' own Gospel Topics essay on the Manifesto and the end of plural marriage, one essay inside the same continuously maintained series this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that series rather than standing beside it, so citing this essay alongside the general Gospel Topics Essays record, or alongside another of its essays, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the series' own limit: an institutional self-account published on the church's own site, notable for what it concedes about the church's own history, but not independent historical or scientific assessment, which needs a source outside the church itself.

Reliability tier 2: the church's own institutional self account published on its own site, notable for what it concedes about its own history, though not independent historical or scientific assessment.
Notes
The church's own account of the 1890 Manifesto, the continuation of plural marriages after it, and the second manifesto of 1904 that ended the practice in the church and began the excommunication of those who continued it. The tradition's own account.

This record's own Title carries the parenthetical (Gospel Topics essay) and its Author is the Church itself rather than a named individual, for its essay on The Manifesto and the End of Plural Marriage; one essay inside the Church's own continuously maintained Gospel Topics Essays series, not a witness independent of it.
