20 And the remainder of those dissenters, rather than be smitten down to the earth by the sword, yielded to the standard of liberty, and were compelled to hoist the title of liberty upon their towers, and in their cities, and to take up arms in defence of their country.Yield to freedom!
Later, Teancum and his men became the most critical tide-turning force in the war. After the dissensions and the city-taking campaign by Amalikiah, things were looking bleak for the Nephites... until Teancum met that army head on. Too bad we don't know more about Teancum. I mean, what he know about him is awesome. But I would love to know the details of his life, to see how he prepared himself for this most critical role he played in the temporal salvation of his people.
Alma 51.
