Alma 51:6, 9

Alma 51:6

And those who were desirous

that Pahoran should remain chief judge over the land

took upon them the name of freemen;

and thus was the division among them,

for the freemen had sworn or covenanted

to maintain their rights and the privileges of their religion by a free government.

Alma 51:9

But behold, this was a critical time

for such contentions to be among the people of Nephi;

for behold, Amalickiah had again stirred up

the hearts of the people of the Lamanites against the people of the Nephites,

and he was gathering together soldiers from all parts of his land,

and arming them, and preparing for war with all diligence;

for he had sworn to drink the blood of Moroni.
