A group of Nephites who no longer followed the teachings of the church, followed Amilici and wanted to change the government. They wanted Amlici to be their king. When the election results came back and he was not chosen king, they decided to make him their king anyway. They fled and joined with the Lamanites and came to war against the Nephites. Even though they outnumbered the Nephites, the Nephites were backed by God and won.
