Angola (Book of Mormon)

Angola (Book of Mormon)

According to The Book of Mormon, the city of Angola was located near or in the north countries and was the site of a portion of the long and final battle between the Nephites and the Lamanites. The city is mentioned in only one verse, sourcetext|source=Book of Mormon|book=Mormon|chapter=2|verse=4. The Nephites retreated towards the north countries and came to Angola and fortified the city, but were unable to withstand the Lamanites' attacks and were driven from the city. sourcetext|source=Book of Mormon|book=Mormon|chapter=2|verse=5 might be interpreted in such a way as to suggest that Angola was located somewhere in the land of David.
