John Smith (1580 – 1631) was an English soldier, explorer and colonial governor who participated in the settlement at Jamestown, which became the first permanent one established by the British in the New World, at the beginning of the 17th century.

When Jamestown was settled in 1607, he taught other settlers how to farm and work the land, saving the colony from desvastation in its early years. He used the lemma:<em> "He that will not work, shall not eat". </em>The English newcomers were suffering harsh conditions at that time, as they did not have food or water, and also due to the wilderness that surrounded the settlement and the attacks of the native Indians. These conditions almost destroyed Jamestown but the leadership of John Smith was determinant in preserving the lives of his people and the colony.

I have encountered this question before. This was my answer.

The United States pursued gradual engagement to the Allied nations of Europe by passing the Lend-Lease Bill.

Under this bill, the United States will provide Great Britain the necessary supplies and armaments that it needs to fight against Germany. Knowing that Great Britain's liquidity is questionable, the United States will not demand immediate payment and when the time comes that payment is demanded,they will accept other modes of payment beside cash.

<span>In this scenario, the United States did not violate the Neutrality Act of 1939. They also ensured that the war fought in Europe will not reach their shores by ensuring that Great Britain has the capacity to fight and win the war against Germany. Thus, their assistance through lend-lease bill. </span>
