Life After Jamestown , John Smith

After Smith got captured by the Natives and was released again the Natives led him back to Jamestown. When he arrived at Jamestown the colony went down hill since he had left. Smith argued with a lot of the people there and he eventually left in exploration of the Chesapeake Bay area. There was a bad government in a local establishment and Smith was eventually elected president for that area. When he was president wanted agriculture to be the main source of food.The establishment was growing and flourishing under Smith's leadership, however Smith had to leave to London to get medical treatment after a burn. He never came back to Virginia. He latter came back to the New World and founded an area he called "New England." However, he was not allowed to ever go back to the New World and spent the rest of his life writing memoirs.
