Land of Liberty. (2 Nephi Chptr 1)
Lehi talks to his sons about how blessed they are that they have been able to come to the promised land. The land has been consecrated to him and his seed and all those whom the Lord brings unto it. He also say that no one will come into this land unless the Lord brings them there and that the land shall be a land of liberty. Other than the obvious meaning of that phrase, I'm wondering if there is more to it than just being a "land of the free"....After some research on this, I can't think of and couldn't find any more meaning to this. I think that it has a lot of meaning though in its obvious context. By being a land of liberty, all those that dwell on it have free agency. We all have the freedom to choose. This is a huge part of the plan of salvation. Those that live under oppression aren't able to practice the plan or the reason for being alive on this earth to the point that we are. We are truly blessed to live in this land and to enjoy the Liberty that has been covenanted unto us by dwelling here.
