In Mormon 8:8 ( -Mormon 8), he says that the "Lord has done it", referring to how the Lamanites have hunted his people the Nephites.
In 1 Nephi 2:23-34 (1 Nephi 2), the Lord promises Nephi (Who are they in 1 Nephi 2) that as long as the Nephites keep His commandments, the Lamanites won't have any power over them. But if the Nephites rebel against the commandments, then the Lamanites will be a "scourge" againast them to stir them to remembrance.
Here it is 1000 years after the promise was made and Mormon is keenly aware of the reason why his people are getting hunted.
