the people that settled in Jamestown came from England in 1607
The English settled Roanoke because they were forced to stop their travel early to avoid the hurricane season. They settled in the first area that they located in their travel, which was the Roanoke area.
It's the Roanoke Colony you are talking about, actually. Same place, different people. Jamestown, Virginia, was the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States of America. Before the Jamestown people settled there, there had been a colony living there called the Roanoke colony. Nobody knows what happened to the Roanoke settlers. It seems they just vanished without a trace one day. No bodies were found, even. All of the houses had been deliberately dismantled, so apparently they did not leave in a hurry. The only clue ever found were two carvings in two different tree trunks, which read, "Croatoan," and "Cro," respectively. For more information, see the Related Links below.
because when the Jamestown people came and settled they had more people come they started pushing people off their land
Roanoke was named the lost colony because the first time people settled and some went back to england. Well the people that went back they came back to Roanoke but the people that settled dissapeared. The only thing that was left was a tree with the carving " CROATOAN" . Nobody knows what happend , still investigating-a 4th grader
I would describe them as starving people living in swamps.
Jamestown, Virginia
The English people who first settled in Jamestown had their own duties depending on their sex. The women cooked, sewed, cleaned and made clothes. The men planted crops, butchered livestock, and built fences.
Those would be pilgrims coming from New Zealand and Slaves.
