Now, imagine having to live up to this standard in society, competing against everyone else for this title, while attempting to distinguish yourself from others. This expectation is still highly recognized, but it played an especially big role during the Renaissance Era. A Renaissance Man is a person with many talents or areas of knowledge. In the twentieth century, although he never truly reached this title, Theodore Bradbrooke Smith grew up in a small town in Canada, was consistently ahead of his time, as a result of his wide and varied education and his ability to look past the traditional society belief.

In colonizing the New World, Captain John Smith and William Bradford were both significant figures. Smith was an explorer and solider known for establishing the first permanent English colony in the New World at Jamestown, Virginia. Bradford was a Puritan who was fixed on setting up a colony where people could practice their religion freely. What makes them so alike and different?

The book Fearless Captain: The Adventures of John Smith, by Aleck Loker, tells the life story of the English explorer John Smith. The work focuses on all the different accomplishments John Smith made in his life, explaining how his “apparent skill in learning languages” (pg. 28) helped him to communicate with almost anyone he meet. Also his studies in battle strategies and survival helped him to not only keep himself alive, but everyone else with him as well. This, among other reasons, is why he was one of the most important British explorers following the discovery of the New World.
Both John Smith and William Bradford journeyed to the New World during the time of America’s colonization in the early 1600s. These two men recorded their experiences during the voyage to share with people back in their home country of England. While Smith and Bradford traveled to the same place, their accounts were extremely dissimilar from each other. John Smith’s General History of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Isles describes America as an agriculture and livestock rich area with endless opportunity. On the other hand, in Of Their Voyage, And How They Passed The Sea; And Of Their Safe Arrival At Cape Cod, William Bradford stresses the hardship faced that extended past the voyage and the painstaking work that goes into colonization. Although Smith and Bradford’s accounts have some similarities, the idea of the American dream is strengthened by Smith and threatened by Bradford.
There are times where you want to have a fresh start in a new place for many different reasons. John Smith and William Bradford were originally from England and came to settle in America and were very successful in their own ways but also had challenges. They both came to the new world for opportunities. William Bradford and his people were trying to look for religious freedom away from England and, they believed in God and predestination. Smith came to Jamestown in Virginia and was looking for land and many riches to make more money and to take back to his home land and, at the time tobacco was a big thing.
There were a few people that had a great influence on the early settlements in the New World. Two such men were William Bradford and John Smith. Their similarities and differences are evident in the way these men impacted the two colonies.

Abusive. Slave owner. Boastful. All traits that the infamous John Smith possessed. In 1624, John Smith wrote an autobiography about his encounters with the native Indians in North America, under the name General History. Previously, Bartolomé De Las Casas wrote an autobiography about his adventures in 1515 called Relation that discusses the mistreatment of the native Indians that he observed in the Americas, specifically Hispaniola. John Smith’s autobiography exhibits unacceptable traits such as degrading Indians, boasting about himself and lusting for fame which makes De Las Casas, the previous explorer of the Americas, a better role model who exhibited benevolent characteristics.
Adam Smith is considered as one of the most influential economists in the 18th century. Although his theories have been criticized by several socialist economists, however, his idea of capitalism still has great impact to the rest of the economists during classical, neo classical periods and the structure of today’s economy. Even the former Prime Minister of Britain, Margaret Thatcher had praised on Smith’s contribution on today’s capitalism market. She commented “Adam Smith, in fact, heralded the end of the strait-jacket of feudalism and released all the innate energy of private initiative and enterprise which enable wealth to be created on a scale never before contemplated” (Copley and Sutherland 1995, 2). Smith is also being recognized
De Republica Anglorum is Sir Thomas Smith’s seminal work, a striking social commentary on the order of English society in the 16th Century.

Many of us know John Smith as a fearless leader, a true hero, a man who was solely responsible for the success of Jamestown (the first English colony in the North America). Yes, John Smith was a courageous leader, but he wasn’t perfect. Like most men of the 1600’s John Smith’s attitude toward Native Americans was cruel and unkind. He treated most Native Americans as lesser beings, establishing himself as a superior figure over them. Multiple times John Smith displays his bias toward Native Americans. The first being when he thrust his guide in front of him to save his own life. The second being when Smith trys to awe the Native Americans with simple objects and theories. Lasty, the third being when Smith ignores the deals he made
The coal seams ran under the higher ground to the north. The Duke's land agent, John Gilbert, saw that it was possible to connect the canal directly to the mines by way of an underground canal. This in turn could be used to help with draining the mines, providing a source of water for the canal.” Canals changed the way we collected goods, and they made it much more facile to transport them.
