He focuses on the dissension among the Nephites and the introduction of the kingmen and the freemen, two political parties vying for power. Moroni, the leader of the Nephite armies, becomes exceedingly angry with the kingmen and sends a petition to the governor of the land to compel them to defend their country or put them to death. Meanwhile, Amalickiah, the leader of the Lamanites, invades the city of Moroni and takes possession of several cities. However, he is eventually defeated by the elite forces of Teancum.
