“I Shall Call Them Lamanites”

Brant Gardner

Jacob reiterates his conceptual use of the terms Lamanite and Nephite. The inside/outside use is not only reinforced, but comes with the expected pejorative association of the outside label. The friendly/unfriendly descriptions Jacob gives are probably much more important determinations of "Nephite" and "Lamanite" at this point in Nephite history than lineage.
