  3.  @fillhixx  thanks for the reference I'll check it out. I'm familiar with what the practice did to the native population here in California. I think taking the wives was responsible for a huge portion of the genocide here.

  4.  @purplespeckledappleeater8738  appreciate the detail and your research. But things weren't as rosy east of the Rockies nor as brutal in California as you make out. We were not started as a slave state. Although we invented the reservation system and officially encoded the genocide of the natives into law. And while many native peoples assimilated readily, and many had looser marriage customs, most did not. Most respected marriage and had a balance that was upset by Europeans taking wives out of the marrying pool.
