Why did Captain John Smith say to the colonists, "If you don't work, you don't eat." What was happening in the new English colony of Jamestown?

I don't think it is fair because John Smith wouldn't feed the colony if didn't work.

John Smith said "he who will not work shall not eat" because they needed food and water but they would not work and maybe if they did work there might be more food.

Jon smith had to come dawn over and over to save them so that's why he made the rule that if they don't work they won't eat. so he would not have to come back to save them all.

John Smith said "You don't work you don't eat". He ment you don't care. They didn't have much food so the others would get more food.

The reason John Smith said if you don't work you don't eat because the colony was to lazy to work and was relying on John to feed them and build them shelters cause he was the only colonist that knew how to servive.

John Smith said if you don't work you don't eat because he was tired of the colony coming to him asking for food and shelter because there to lazy and they don't know how to do any of that.Starvation time was also happening so they were desprete.

I think John Smith said "if you do not work, you do not eat" because if you do not help the colony it will be very unstable and most will starve.

i think the reason john smith said if u dont work u dont eat because to me its like a job if you dont do your work your not going to get paid and probably get fired so its not fair if you dont do your share and the reason people were going to James town was because they wanted GOLD!john smith was saying we dont need gold we need food and water im working for my food your working for gold not my food!

The people were dieing because they wanted food but they didn't want to work. They didn't like working because it took effort and the people of Jamestown were tired. John Smith said I'm not going to keep going back and forth back and forth, you guys need to work you guys will get food.

John Smith said to the colinists if you don't work you don't eat because he didn't want to work all by himself he wanted the other colinists to work with him to get food.What was happening was they were starving and they didn't want to work

When they were sending more and people over there they knew about the diseases but they didn't know that captain John smith was asking them to work to get food so they didn't know that death was closer than they thought.

the reason Jonh Smith was saying "if you don't work you don't eat" was it's like an allowence, if you don't do chores you don't get money.The reason people were coming to Jamestown was because the all wanted one thing, GOLD!!!!!!!

I think John Smith said "If you do not work you do not eat" because you would not deserve food.

I think that captain John Smith said "If you will not work you will not eat"because he wanted to teach them to not be lazy and to teach them a lesson that you don't need to just sit there but to work to earn the right to eat.What was happening was they weren't working for what they earned.

I think Caption John Smith said "if you don't work you don't eat" because the colony would fall apart [faster] if nobody helped build and grow food, and if you don't work you don't deserve food. Since people didn't work people died and there was even less people to work so the colony fell apart.

I think John Smith said to the colinists "if you don't work you don't eat" because they wouldn't help him get the food and so they don't deserve it. They were doing other things such as searching for gold and being lazy.

I think John Smith said you don't work you don't eat because he didn't want to do all the work and them do no work.What was happening is John Smith had to keep coming back and he kept helping the others survive.

It was called the starving time and John Smith would trade weapons with the Indians for food and he paid the people of Jamestown in food because they didn't have fresh food. The people thought that John was going to give them food but they didn't have to work for it. So if the people didn't work, John wouldn't give them food so they wouldn't get food.

I think john smith said that those who don't work don't eat because they shouldn't deserve it if they sit around and your the only working.

the colonists wouldn't work and he wanted them to understand that since they only looked for gold they would not survive. He was trying to tell them that they needed to focus on their houses and food.
