Raleigh had financed the colony at Roanoke. When the colony failed, he lost his investment.
The lost colony of Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina, was established by British colonists led by Sir Walter Raleigh. When he came back from a trip to get more supplies from Britain, he landed on the island and found no one there - the colonists had disappeared.

It is unknown what really happened. The only part that people really know happened is that a couple people went back to England to get supplies and food for the new land. However, there was a war, so the people couldn't return to Roanoke for about 3 years. Upon their return, they saw no people left and there were bones scattered everywhere. No one really knows for sure what really happened, but one theory is that there was an Indian attack.
