In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh outfitted a ship with 91 men, 17 women, and 9 children and sent them on their way to the shores of Chesapeake Bay. Strong winds blew the expedition off course and they landed on an island off the coast of what would become North Carolina. The island was Roanoke. The settlers attempted to establish a colony while the ship returned to England for supplies. Three years would go by before a supply ship could return to Roanoke. When Raleigh's agents found the colony, all that was left were abandoned buildings and the word "CROATOAN" carved on one of the buildings. The men assumed the settlers had moved to Croatan Island near Cape Hatteras. But sailing there, they found no trace of the colonists. Some historians think the settlers could not survive on their own and they moved in with some local Indians, the Lumbee Tribe. The members of the Lumbee Tribe today claim that is what happened.
The English leaders saw North America as a way to deal with the growing number of poor people. The people saw north America as a source of hope.

English colonization at first was to gain power, resources and improve their standing in the world. Colonization to America, on the other hand, was geared more toward improving the rights of the people. Religious freedom being one of the primary intentions.

The English believed the Irish to be savages and they noticed similarities between them and the Indians. They dressed similarly, they built their houses similarly, and they resisted conquest like the Irish. The experiences also affected English ideas regarding colonization. In Ireland, the English conquerors would set up plantations surrounded by Palisades. They followed similar actions in colonizing the New World.
The English Civil War took a great affect on them because they had to decidewhether to support the king or the Parliament.
