I ask this not to condemn, but to enlighten and for you to search for truth.
Ether 15:2 says "there had been slain 2 million of his mighty men, *and also their wives and children". This makes the population of the Jeridites between 4-6 million people. Joseph Smith himself declared that the Jaradites lived in the Americas more than a thousand years, and covered the continent from sea to sea, with towns and cities. (Teachings of Joseph Smith, p.267) They had vast culture, and a broad infrastructure to sustain the millions of lives that settled here. But, with all of the battles, and weapons used, there has never been found even a small shred of their language, or archeology found on this continent.
Mosiah 9:9 says we began to till the ground, yea even with all manner of seeds, with seeds of corn, and of wheat, and of barley, and with neas, and with sheum, and with seeds of all manner of fruits... However, none of these but corn are native to that region.
