What explanation does smith give for the loss of men and his own capture? why does he include these explanations?

In "The General History of Virginia," John Smith describes the perils the settlers suffered in trying to establish the colony of Virginia.

John Smith argues that the conditions the settlers faced when arriving to the New World were extremely harsh. Within ten days, sickness settled in. The settlers did not have enough food and were waiting for supply ships, so they relied solely on corn and water. They had no shelter, and as they were unaware of how long the trip was going to be, they lost time for farming. Nearly half of them died, and it was only thanks to the Native Americans that they were able to survive.

John Smith most likely included the explanations because he felt responsible for the things that happened to the settlers, as their president. He wanted people to understand the struggles he faced. He also wanted to represent the relationship the settlers had with the Native Americans, which were not always positive.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
