Best Answer

Ralegh did not go to North America. He had several voyages to South America - the final voyage being his undoing. He put together voyages to North America but he never accompanied them. His North American attempts at colonization took place in 1584, 1585 and 1587. The 1587 group ultimately became known as the lost colony.

Where sir Walter Raleigh traveled?

Raleigh planned in 1584 to colonize for England in the present day Virginia and North Carolina. It however was not successful when the plan failed at Roanoke Island. In 1587, he went for a second expedition back to Roanoke, which failed also. 1594, Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in South America and went to find it. He published an exaggerated account of his experiances which led to the legend of El Dorado. 1616, was released from the Tower to conduct a second travel out to El Dorado.


What did Walter Raleigh name the area that he chose to clonize?

If you are referring to areas in North America, the name used was 'Virginia.' This referred to the entire country and was used in honor of Queen Elizabeth. Ralegh did not actually travel to North America. He sponsored and organized two reconnaissance voyages in 1584 and 1585 respectively, and lent his name to a third voyage in 1587, but at no time was he a member of the expeditions.


How did the Native Americans treat Sir Walter Raleigh?

If you are referring to native Americans in what is now the USA - as opposed to South America - Ralegh never set foot in North America and had no dealings whatsoever with natives in their land. He did, however, meet several Algonquians who had traveled to England. Ralegh sponsored and organised the first two Roanoke voyages but he did not go there himself. By the time of the 1587 voyage, Ralegh had no financial interest and did little more than lend his name to the enterprise. By 1587 Ralegh was concentrating on his Irish interests. At no time did he ever travel to North America.


When and why did Walter Raleigh discover Virginia?

The Roanoke Voyages (three in all, not counting John White's return trip in 1580) made the first English trips to what is now North Carolina, but in the 16th century the entire country was named Virginia in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. While Ralegh certainly put the first two voyages together and retained a portion of the third voyage in 1587, he did not travel to Roanoke Island or any part of North America himself.
