Capture of the Southern lands

Part of: Gadianton Period

• Nephite dissenters are driven out of the land, and entice the king of Lamanites to go to war  against the Nephites, but the Lamanites are fearfully reluctant.
• Continued persuasion efforts on the part of the dissenters finally succeed, and the Lamanites initiate a strike on the Nephites, and successfully occupy the land of Zarahemla.
• Moronihah and the Nephite army are able to secure and defend the territory north of Bountiful, but the Lamanites conquer everything in the south.
• Moronihah fights back, and by the following year, he is successful in repossessing some their original territorial holdings.
