Inciting War

Church Educational System
The Nephites feared that the Zoramites would incite the Lamanites to war, which is what actually happened later (see Alma 35:10–11, 43:4–10). This happens in modern times as well. Leaders in power want war for their own wicked purposes, so they stir up their people through hate campaigns and propaganda to the point where they will go to war.
