Captain John Smith did not actually found Plymouth; that was the Pilgrims, who established the Plymouth Colony in 1620. Smith was an English soldier and explorer known for his role in the establishment of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. His writings and maps of the New World, however, did influence other settlers and explorers. The Pilgrims sought religious freedom and a new life in America, ultimately leading them to Plymouth.

Did captain John Smith save Plymouth from destruction?

Captain John Smith did not save Plymouth from destruction; rather, he played a significant role in the early years of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia. His leadership and negotiation skills helped the settlers survive their initial hardships from 1607 to 1609. Plymouth Colony, established in 1620 by the Pilgrims, was a separate settlement and was not directly influenced by Smith's actions. While he is a notable figure in early American history, his contributions were primarily related to Jamestown, not Plymouth.
