Jamestown, Virginia, experienced the terrible starving time
in the 1609 until next year, running out of food and becoming ridden with
diseases, that the population fell from more than 100 to only 60. According to Smith,
many of the settlers were from aristocratic backgrounds and so were not
inclined to work. Then he enforced the rule “that he that will not work shall
not eat” and enforced it with
punishments or banishment from the fort. With the rule and some luck, Smith succeeded
in making the colony self-sufficient.
