The Nephite nation DID go to war with the Gadiantons. The gadiantons had
set up a society outside that of the Nephite and Lamanite society and
basically started a war. Once they brought large armies of men to attack
Nephite cities, then yes, the Nephites did go to war with them. It became
sort of a reverse seige. The Nephites, who were holed up inside their
fortifications, staved out the Gadiantons who were beseiging them.
