If you are reffering to the Lost Colony of Roanoke, then there are many reasons. One common story is that the settlers held a banquet for the natives in the area. There was an exchange of gifts. One of the natives took a silver cup that he thought was part of the trading. The settlers saw this theft as an act of war and retaliated. The settlers were outnumbered and their resources were limited due to the climate producing few crops. They sent word to England of their trouble and wanted supplies sent, but communication was slow. It took 3 months for the letter to get there. The settlers spent their last few days in a fort where many starved to death. When the supplies arrived, there were no settlers alive.
