Which of the following was not a reason john smith encouraged britons to colonize the americas? a. there was great wealth to be found in the americas. b. smith would be revered as a pioneer of colonization. c. it was the britons' duty to christianize the americas. d. colonization would solve the problem of british overpopulation.

The correct answer is B) Smith would be revered as a pioneer of colonization.

The statement that was NOT a reason John Smith encouraged Britons to colonize the Americas is "Smith would be revered as a pioneer of colonization."

John Smith (1580-1631) was an English colonist in Jamestown, Virginia. He had a military background and showed enough leadership to keep order in those first years on the new colony. He was a good communicator and his negotiations with the Native American Indians tribes helped the English colonists to survive in the new and unknown land. John Smith encouraged Britons to colonize the Americas because there was great wealth to be found in the Americas, he thought it was the Britons' duty to Christianize the Americas, and colonization would solve the problem of British overpopulation.
