Around 115 colonists disappeared from the Roanoke colony in the late 16th century. The reason for their disappearance remains a mystery, with theories ranging from assimilation into local Native American tribes to attacks by other European colonists.
No, England's colony on Roanoke Island, known as the "Lost Colony," was not a success. The colonists mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only a carving of the word "CROATOAN" on a tree. The fate of the colony remains a historical mystery.
Depends on how one looks at it: It was a failure in England's eyes but from another viewpoint the Roanoke colonists were probably integrated into the indigineous people. I say this because many historical letters and ship's logs maintain that the indians were friendly, curious and eager to help.
The fate of the Roanoke Colony remains a mystery because all the settlers disappeared with no clear explanation. There are many theories, such as assimilation with local Native American tribes or being captured or killed, but there is no definitive evidence to support any one explanation.
The interactions between the Roanoke colony and the Native Americans were initially positive, with some trading and alliances formed. However, as tensions grew and supplies dwindled, relationships deteriorated. It is unclear what ultimately happened to the Roanoke colony, but later attempts at settling the area were met with hostility from Native American tribes.
The Roanoke colony failed once. It was the first English settlement in North America established in 1587, but by the time the relief expedition arrived in 1590, the entire colony had vanished with no trace of the settlers.
The settlers of Roanoke Island disappeared in 1590, and England's next attempt to establish a colony in Virginia occurred in 1607 with the founding of Jamestown. Therefore, approximately 17 years passed between the disappearance of the Roanoke settlers and England's renewed efforts to establish a colony in the Americas.

Walter Raleigh was the man that started Englands first colony and he faced many problems such as: How he would pay for the colony, How could he persuade people to go to Roanoke, Who would lead the colony and What food and supplies would he need to get the colony started.
One, Roanoke and it disappeared before he could get back to it. To this day no one knows what happened to it.
the second English colony was in 1587 at Roanoke island and they ran low on food, and they faced many attacks from the American Indians!
It was funded in part, along with other investors, by Sir Walter Ralegh although he did not embark upon the voyage. The colonists under the leadership of Governor John White landed on Roanoke Island in July of 1587. In August of the same year John White left the island to return to England for more supplies. He did not return until 1590 by which time the colonists had left the settlement. Their fate is unknown. It is also unknown exactly when they left the island. The word "CROATOAN" and the initials "CRO" were carved into a tree and a fencepost suggesting that at least some of the colonists had moved to Hatteras to join the friendly natives, but how many of them went there is unknown. There are several other theories as to what might have happened to them.
