Wikipedia's article on the 1890 Manifesto, community-edited. Reliable for church president Wilford Woodruff's September 1890 statement, formally accepted by the church on 6 October 1890, announcing the church would submit to the law and advising members against contracting further plural marriages; for the manifesto applying only to future marriages, leaving existing plural unions undisturbed; for its role opening the path to Utah statehood in 1896; and for the article's own note that some apostles covertly sanctioned further plural marriages afterward, prompting a stronger Second Manifesto in 1904.
