The English founded the Roanoke and Jamestown colonies to establish a presence in the New World, expand trade opportunities, and seek economic prosperity through resources like gold and silver. Additionally, they aimed to compete with other European powers in establishing colonies in North America.
The failed Roanoke colony was sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh. Queen Elizabeth I granted Raleigh the charter to establish colonies in the New World, leading to the settlement at Roanoke Island in 1585.
Both Roanoke and Jamestown were early English colonies established in the Americas in the 16th and 17th centuries. They both faced challenges such as harsh environmental conditions, conflicts with Native Americans, and supply shortages. Ultimately, both colonies experienced difficulties in their early years, with the Roanoke colony being abandoned and the Jamestown colony barely surviving.

No, the Roanoke Colony was located on Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina, not in Chesapeake Bay. It was one of the first English colonies in the New World, but it mysteriously disappeared sometime between 1587 and 1590, leading to it being dubbed "The Lost Colony."
