Sir Walter Raleigh, an adventurous English gentleman, sent a group of men to explore the New World. A later expedition established a settlement on Roanoke Island, on the North Carolina coast.

    US History- Sweeney

    ©Java Stitch Creations, 2015 Part 1: The Roanoke Colony-Background Information What is now known as the lost Roanoke Colony, was actually the third English attempt at colonizing the eastern shores of the United States. Following through with his family's thirst for exploration, Queen Elizabeth I of England granted Sir Walter Raleigh a royal charter in 1584. This charter gave him seven years to establish a settlement, and allowed him the power to explore, colonize and rnle, in return for one-fifth of all the gold and silver mined in the new lands. Raleigh immediately hired navigators Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to head an expedition to the intended destination of the Chesapeake Bay area. This area was sought due to it being far from the Spanish-dominated Florida colonies, and it had milder weather than the more northern regions. In July of that year, they landed on Roanoke Island. They explored the area, made contact with Native Americans, and then sailed back to England to prove their findings to Sir Walter Raleigh. Also sailing from Roanoke were two members oflocal tribes of Native Americans, Manteo (son of a Croatoan) and Wanchese (a Roanoke). Amadas' and Barlowe's positive report, and Native American assistance, earned the blessing of Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a colony. In 1585, a second expedition of seven ships of colonists and supplies, were sent to Roanoke. The settlement was somewhat successful, however, they had poor relations with the local Native Americans and repeatedly experienced food shortages. Only a year after arriving, most of the colonists left.

    What Happened to the Lost Colony? Page 1 of 4

    What Happened to the Lost Colony? Page 1 of 4 What Happened to the Lost Colony? People have speculated about the fate of the colonists for more than four hundred years. What do you think happened to the Roanoke colony? Did They Move in with Manteo? Governor John White believed that the colonists found refuge with the Croatoan people led by Manteo. His only evidence was CROATOAN carved on a post at the colony’s deserted fort. Disaster struck White’s relief voya, ge of 1590. Seven men drowned while attempting a landing. Then severe storms forced the remaining crew to seek safer seas. Unable to interest backers in paying for another rescue attempt, White gave up the search. He wrote in 1593 that the relief of the colony was left "to the merciful help of the Almighty." He added, "1 would to God my wealth were answerable to my will," so that he could pay for another voyage himself. What about that idea? No historians or archaeologists have found evidence proving or disproving John White’s theory. The carving remains the most reliable clue to the destination of the colonists when they left Roanoke. Did they go somewhere else later? People have been trying to answer that question for four centuries. Were They Murdered? The colonists Who settled at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 sent expeditions to search for the Roanoke colonists. They gathered information from Native Americans they met. Powhatan, a powerful Indian leader in the Chesapeake Bay region, told Captain John Smith that he had killed the Roanoke colonists, who had been living with the Chesapeake Indians.
