Question

Why might the description of Virginia written by the Virginia company be different from the accounts written by John Smith and Richard Frethorne?

Answer 1

Answer:

Because the company promoted a biased description of virgins by establishing only the good points about it, while Smith and Frethorne's accounts were more realistic and impartial.

Explanation:

The company promoted a description where it only addressed the qualities of Vírginia. This was done to help settlers and show the state as a wonderful and flawless earth. In fact, Vírginia had advantages, but the description of the company was completely biased and incomplete in many factors. John Smith and Richard Frethorne, on the other hand, presented more complete reports, as they were indeed familiar with the territory. They presented a more impartial report, describing the state as it really was, without alleviating possible defects.
