People moved to Roanoke Colony, also known as the Lost Colony, in the late 16th century in search of new opportunities and resources in the North American continent. They were hoping to establish a permanent English settlement and expand their influence in North America. Additionally, some individuals were motivated by the desire for religious freedom or to escape economic hardship in England.
No, John White was not the founder of Roanoke Island. Roanoke Island was named after the Native American tribe that inhabited the area. John White was an English artist who led an expedition to establish a colony on Roanoke Island in 1587.
John White left England in 1587 to go to Roanoke Island as part of the second attempt to establish a colony there.
John White returned to Roanoke in 1587 to check on the colony he had previously established. He was concerned about their well-being after being delayed due to a war between England and Spain.
John White led a group of settlers to Roanoke Island primarily to establish a new English colony in the New World. The colony was intended to help secure England's claim to the area and to potentially exploit its resources.
Sir Walter Raleigh sent a group of colonists to Roanoke Island in 1585 in an attempt to establish the first English colony in the New World. This marked the beginning of England's colonization of North America.

John White left Roanoke Island to go back to England. He told the colony that he'd be back in about 7 months to get some more supplies. (The colony was starving.) When he got to England, it was at war with Spain. It took 3 years to get back to Roanoke Island. When John White returned, everyone had dissapeared. ALL 100 PEOPLE HAD GONE MISSING.IF THERE IS A BETTER ANSWER, PLEASE IMPROVE.
Walter Raleigh was the man that started Englands first colony and he faced many problems such as: How he would pay for the colony, How could he persuade people to go to Roanoke, Who would lead the colony and What food and supplies would he need to get the colony started.
No one knows for sure where the people went.
Ralegh's settlement in what is now North Carolina was on Roanoke Island. It became known as 'the lost colony'. It was designated the Cittie of Ralegh, but the name never quite took hold because the colony failed.

People from England went to Roanoke Island in 1585 as part of Sir Walter Raleigh's attempt to establish a permanent English settlement in the New World. They aimed to establish a base for future expeditions and to explore the region for potential resources and trade opportunities.
Those that went hoped for economic gain. They were adventurous.
There is no concrete evidence that the Croatan Indians specifically attacked Roanoke Island. The fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains mysterious, with possibilities ranging from assimilation with local tribes to violent conflict. However, relationships between the English settlers and Native Americans in the region were complicated, and there were likely various factors that could have contributed to hostilities or misunderstandings.
they thought there was gold and silver there:)
Ralegh didn't discover Virginia. Ralegh never came to what is now the United States of America. He was instrumental in putting together the first two Roanoke Voyages - the first one was in 1585. By 1587 when the colony now known as 'the lost colony' embarked for the New World, Ralegh had effectively given up his sponsorship. The colonists came to Roanoke Island where the first two voyages had landed. The colony, however, was not bound for Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, as a final destination point - they were supposed to go to the Chesapeake Bay in what is now Virginia. They were put off at Roanoke Island. The entire area was at that time called Virginia, in honor of Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen.
