Does anyone know how many Mormons actually died while they were "persecuted?"
The following website suggests it wasn't that many, probably in "the dozens."

I know the excuse that polygamy was instituted because "so many Mormon men died..." is completely false but when I think about it, I don't think hardly any Mormon men even died from fighting or persecution. If its only "dozens" then that can hardly justify a reason to implement polygamy when there were TENS OF THOUSANDS of Mormons who migrated to Utah.
