Roanoke and Jamestown are 2 original settlements Jamestown was the one that never died off. Roanoke is a complete mystery. Roanoke completely disappeared. Both were funded by the Virginia company, and were established by the Quakers. They were early attempts at making colonial settlements.
One key difference between the successful Jamestown colony and the failed Roanoke colony is their ability to establish and maintain strong connections with the indigenous peoples. The Jamestown settlers were able to forge alliances with some native tribes and establish trade relationships, while the Roanoke settlers failed to establish stable relations and were abandoned by their supply ships. Additionally, Jamestown had a more organized and structured leadership, while Roanoke lacked clear leadership and suffered from internal conflicts.
what where the colonies of Roanoke and Jamestown hoping to achieve
Roanoke: 1585 but it failed
No, John Smith did not try to start the Roanoke Colony. The Roanoke Colony was established by the English in 1585, and John Smith was born in 1580, so he was not alive at the time of the colony's founding. John Smith is better known for his involvement in the Jamestown settlement in Virginia.
Jamestown was established in 1607, Roanoke Island in 1585 (although it disappeared), Georgia in 1733, and Plymouth in 1620.
