The State of Virginia
Sir Walter Raleigh explored Virginia in search of wealth and resources for England. He hoped to establish a colony that would provide valuable commodities such as gold, silver, and other natural resources. Additionally, he aimed to increase England's power and influence in the New World.
Raleigh chose John White (c. 1540-1583), an English artist and gentleman, to lead the colony. The settlement founded at Roanoke, Virginia, disappeared mysteriously between 1587 and 1591, while White was organizing supplies in England.
