Question

Why did John Smith write this piece to send back to England for people to read?

Answer 1

Answer:

He sent some of his writeups to England to describe what the New World looked like and to motivate his people to migrate to the New World. He also wanted his partners in business to see the potentials of the New World and continue investing in his business.

Explanation:

John Smith was a businessman from England who was among the first people to migrate to Jamestown and to engage in trade with the native Indians. While there, Smith would write beautiful descriptions of the New World and accounts of activities there which he sent back to his people in England.

He did this to help his people see the potentials of the New World and migrate to it. Some of his partners in business who made investments in the business also received some of the letters. Smith hoped that this would help them see how profitable business was in the New World, thus motivating them to make investments.
