Best Answer

When Smith arrived in Jamestown in late 1608 he found only 34 men of the 106 who landed still alive. They had not planted crops and had built on swampy land surrounded by 5,000 Native Americans. As commander of the fort Smith set rules for the men and one of them was that to eat they needed to work. He rationed the food that was left and organized the men into work and hunting groups. These were people who came to VA to seek gold and become rich. They didn't want to follow rules nor work. Therefore Smith was not very popular.
