Mosiah 7

Mosiah 7:15

“For behold, we are in bondage to the Lamanites, and are taxed with a tax which is grievous to be borne. And now, behold, our brethren will deliver us out of our bondage, or out of the hands of the Lamanites, and we will be their slaves; for it is better that we be slaves to the Nephites than to pay tribute to the king of the Lamanites.”

I would not think that the people of Limhi would end up being slaves of the people of king Mosiah. I would think they would treat themselves like brothers or equals. But this verse just shows how much worse off they were in the presence of the Lamanites that they would prefer to be as slaves under the rule of Mosiah.
