Answer:

1. He insisted that all colonists work on producing food if they were to eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

He was an English soldier, explorer, and Admiral of New England. He played an important role in the establishment of the first permanent English settlement in North America, Jamestown Colony. He was also the first explorer to map the Chesapeake Bay area.

At 1607, when Jamestown was first established John Smith trained the first settlers to farm and work. He said, " He that will not work, shall not eat".

I hope this answer helps you.
