Jaredites

People in the Book of Mormon who were descendants of Jared, his brother, and their friends (Ether 1:33–41). They were led by God from the Tower of Babel to the Americas, a promised land (Ether 1:42–43; 2–3; 6:1–18). Although their nation had at one time millions of people, they were all destroyed by civil war brought on by wickedness (Ether 14–15).
