The Roanoke Colony had landed on Roanoke Island for strange reasons. Their settlement president, John White, had to take a ship back to England to gather provisions. Sadly a war arose between England and Spain and White could not return to Roanoke for 3 years. when he returned all the settlers had disappeared, leaving one trace of where they could be, a sign that said "CROATONE". After reading this White sailed to Croatone Island not far away from Roanoke, but sadly there was no trace of the settler's. White sailed back to England defeated. Modern studies show that Sir Walter Raleigh, Queen Elizabeth's most trusted adviser, was framed by competing adviser's. They thought that if the settlers landed in Roanoke, Raleigh's reputation would be destroyed and he would be hanged for the murder of 117 children,women,and men. Though Raleigh was not killed, 117 people did.
