Alma 50:12

"Thus Moroni, with his armies, which did increase daily because of the assurance of protection which his works did bring forth unto them, did seek to cut off the strength and the power of the Lamanites from off the lands of their possessions, that they should have no power upon the lands of their possession."

I love that Moroni's armies increased daily.  The zeal for freedom was extreme in these times, and so many people wanted to have safety. It is so important to believe in freedom enough to fight for it and defend it daily.
