Although Samuel presents this as a hypothesis, Mormon has made sure that we could name names as examples of this. Both the story of Nehor and Korihor have shown that this form of apostate thinking easily took hold of many minds and hearts. In the current population, Mormon insinuated that it was the Gadiantons who had brought such ideas to the people. Even though the Gadiantons were removed during the Nephites temporary return to faithfulness after the drought, the last story Mormon told before beginning to discuss Samuel was the story of the return of the Gadiantons. In Mormon’s writing, the Gadiantons lead to these very sins associated with costly apparel.
