Helaman 4
I wonder what this history would look like if it had been written by uninspired men. I have no doubt that the meaning would have been lost. The dissensions would likely have been recorded as neutral or progressive changes in public opinion. The limited success of Moronihah in retaking some of their lands might be painted as a small guerrilla band of holdouts finding success against the will of the larger society.
It is the proud who make things miserable for the poor and cause strife. Then it is those same proud people who dissent away often taking the disgruntled poor with them whom they caused to be disgruntled in the first place by their pride.
