Why did we accept the Bible insofar as it is correctly translated?

I guess I don't fully understand your question.

In the 1830's, the KJV was the most common version in America, and was the one Joseph Smith attempted to translate.

We had the Geneva Bible, the Douay-Rheims and several other contemporary Bibles. The Douay-Rheims was completely ignored. This also ignores the Tyndale, the Coverdale and the Wycliff Bibles.
