Sir Walter Raleigh was significant in early American history primarily for his role in promoting English colonization in the New World. He sponsored the establishment of the Roanoke Colony in 1585, which, despite its mysterious disappearance, marked England's first attempt at a permanent settlement in North America. Raleigh's efforts helped spark interest in American exploration and colonization, paving the way for future English settlements. Additionally, he introduced tobacco to England, which became a lucrative crop and a key driver of colonial economies.
